An article about Rosena Allin-Khan, MP for Tooting and an A&E doctor, said that she “dropped out of Labour’s deputy leadership campaign in March and then went to work treating Covid-19 patients”. To clarify: she stopped campaigning to spend time on the NHS frontline but did not drop out of the race (“‘I was courteous to Matt Hancock. If he didn’t like the tone of my speech, that’s on him’”, 10 May, page 10).
Katherine Ryan’s podcast is called Telling Everybody Everything, not Telling Everyone Everything as we said in a review last week. We also erred in referring to the comedian’s “American accent”. She is Canadian (Three shows doing lockdown, 10 May, page 35, New Review).
An article about a UK campaign to make oral wills legal during the Covid-19 pandemic said that two witnesses are required to sign a will. To clarify: in Scotland only one witness is needed (“Patients ‘should have right to make oral wills at bedside’”, 3 May, page 19).
