The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The author repeatedly highlights Rishi Sunak's plans and actions, often without providing context or opposing viewpoints. This creates a skewed perception that favors Sunak.
  • The author uses phrases like 'working assumption' and 'determined to keep delivering for the British people', which reinforce Sunak's own narrative about his plans.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • The author mentions that Sunak's decision to focus on reducing income tax instead of national insurance may benefit more voters, but does not disclose that this contradicts Sunak's earlier statement where he urged Hunt to focus on reducing income tax.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The article states that only those paid between £27,000 and £59,00 per year will be better off as a result of both cuts, but fails to mention that this amount includes the freeze in thresholds which means many people who are currently paying more tax will not see any benefit from these cuts.
  • The article states that Rishi Sunak must call an election by late January 2025 and has said he intends to do so this year. This contradicts the information provided later in the article where it is mentioned that Sunak repeated his intention to hold the election in the latter part of the year.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The article states that the UK chancellor will save an average earner £450 per year with this cut, but fails to mention that this amount includes last year's cut of 2p which means it has already been accounted for in previous calculations.
  • The article uses the phrase 'Rishi Sunak has given his strongest indication yet', which implies exclusive information but is not supported by any evidence or quotes from the prime minister himself.
