The Guardian has issued a series of corrections and clarifications for articles published in recent weeks, as part of its commitment to accuracy and transparency in journalism. The updates were published on May 24, 2026, and cover a range of topics from politics to science.
Corrections to Political Reporting
In a previous article on parliamentary debates, it was incorrectly stated that a vote on the new environmental bill took place on May 20. In fact, the vote occurred on May 21. The error has been corrected online.
Clarification on Economic Data
An article on the UK's GDP growth mistakenly cited a figure of 2.5% for the first quarter of 2026. The correct figure, as confirmed by the Office for National Statistics, is 2.3%. We apologize for the oversight.
- Science Section: A feature on climate change incorrectly attributed a study to the University of Oxford. The research was conducted by the University of Cambridge.
- Sports Desk: A match report on the Premier League final misstated the score of the second half. It was 2-1, not 3-1.
Additional Clarifications
Further clarifications include a correction to a review of a theatre production, where the name of the director was misspelled. The correct spelling is Jonathan Smith, not Jonathon Smyth.
The Guardian's corrections policy ensures that all errors are promptly addressed and clearly marked. Readers can submit corrections via the website or contact the editorial team directly.
