For the record

An article incorrectly said Nick Brown and Conor McGinn had been “blocked from seeking reelection after falling foul of strict disciplinary rules”. In fact, while both MPs were suspended from the Labour party pending the outcome of separate complaints processes, no determination of wrongdoing was made in either case, as each resigned from the party in 2023 before the process was complete, criticising the quality of the investigations; McGinn had announced months earlier that he would not be re-standing, citing health and family reasons (Starmer on Abbott: ‘I’ve got more respect for Diane than she realises’, 2 June, p6).

An opinion piece misnamed the Treasury minister Bim Afolami as “Ben” (You can laugh all you like at Ed Davey’s antics if they restore the Lib Dems’ clout, 2 June, p43).

Caithness and Sutherland, home to the Flow Country area of peatland, are not “in the most northerly part of the British Isles” (as readers in Shetland may attest), although they are at the northernmost tip of the British mainland (Scotland’s land of bogs and bugs in pitch for world heritage status, 2 June, p18).

Owing to editing errors, a recipe for Pomegranate chicken indicated 150C fan/gas mark 3½ when 175C fan/gas mark 5½ was intended, and one for Chicken with red pepper and smoky parmesan cream gave an oven temperature of 160C fan/gas mark 4 when 180C fan/gas mark 6 was intended (Observer Food Monthly’s “20 best easy chicken recipes” supplement, 26 May, p12 and p23).
