The Daily Mail sets up a reader poll with a short account of Kemi Badenoch's welfare speech, attributing her warning and her £180billion figure to her. It gives no space to critics of the cuts, such as the Child Poverty Action Group, whose warning about child poverty the Mirror reported the same day. This is a minor gap.

  1. One side gets the space

    Minor

    “pledged to axe sickness and disability benefits”

    Why this matters
    The Mail reports the pledge to axe sickness and disability benefits, then follows it only with Badenoch's cost figures and a poll about threats to Britain.
    The impression it gives
    A reader sees only the case for the cuts and no sign that anyone disputes them or would be harmed by them.
    The context
    The Mirror reported the same plans the same day alongside the Child Poverty Action Group's warning that they would cause child poverty to rise sharply. The Mail gives no critic and no affected person any space.

    How we know

What it gets right

  • “Kemi Badenoch warned that welfare is 'crushing our economy,'”

    The Mail puts the loaded claim in quotation marks and attributes it to Badenoch rather than adopting it.

  • “In her speech, the Tory leader highlighted the latest official figures”

    The Mail ties the £180billion figure to Badenoch's speech instead of presenting it as its own finding.
