The Telegraph has just published *yet another* correction to one of its net-zero articles.
By my count, that is now the TWELFTH such correction since Labour won the election (and covers 15 separate articles).
I have now added the latest one to my epic thread which is tracking these corrections...

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

So many issues Today programme could have asked Charlie Mayfield about on his new report. Very odd to pursue a line of enquiry about whether the UK statutory sick pay is too generous (we have one of the least generous systems in the OECD).
