The Guardian has published a series of corrections and clarifications for errors that appeared in recent articles. The corrections aim to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the newspaper's reporting.
Correction on Misattributed Quote
An article published on May 15, 2026, about the ongoing trade negotiations incorrectly attributed a quote to the UK's chief negotiator. The quote, which stated that 'a deal is imminent,' was actually made by a senior EU official. The Guardian apologizes for this error and has updated the online version of the article accordingly.
Incorrect Date in Historical Feature
In a feature on the history of the London Underground, published on May 12, 2026, the opening date of the Metropolitan Railway was incorrectly given as 1862. The correct opening date is January 10, 1863. The article has been corrected to reflect this.
Clarification on Health Policy Report
A report on the new NHS funding plan, published on May 10, 2026, stated that the plan would 'cut waiting times by half.' This claim was based on projections from the Department of Health, but the article did not make clear that these projections are subject to change. The Guardian has added a clarification to the article.
Additional Notes
Readers who notice any errors are encouraged to contact the corrections team. The Guardian is committed to correcting mistakes promptly and transparently.
