The Daily's Verdict

This news site 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 its reporting.

Bias

95%

Examples:

  • The mission of its award-winning writers and editors is to analyse and explain the defining political, economic, geopolitical and cultural events and ideas shaping and changing the world today.
  • The New Statesman is celebrated for its progressive and liberal politics.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

  • New Statesman Media Group journalists uphold the highest standards of ethical and professional journalism. In our editorial coverage we seek to be independent, fair and accurate.
  • The New Statesman is a vibrant print-digital hybrid, and one of the most respected and influential titles in the United Kingdom.

Contradictions

95%

Examples:

  • There are grumblings within the party for bolder actions like leaving the ECHR or holding a referendum on it, more ambitious tax cuts, or offering something to young people.
  • The vast conference space, where a particularly dire episode of The Apprentice had been shot shortly before Sunak took the reins of the Tory party, did not offer the most auspicious atmosphere.

Deceptions

70%

Examples:

  • For housebuilders, a historic increase in the number of houses built is a risk.
  • It seems unlikely that the government will be able to persuade businesses like Persimmon and Barratt – which are doing very nicely indeed from the status quo – to take on extra risk without offering them some incentives.
