The Guardian's corrections and clarifications column for August 28, 2026, addresses several errors published in recent articles, ensuring accuracy for readers.
Misattributed Quote in Political Report
An article on August 25 about the government's new housing policy incorrectly attributed a statement to the housing minister. The quote, which criticized local council planning delays, was actually made by a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Housing. The error has been corrected online, and the print edition will carry the correction in Saturday's paper.
Factual Error in Sports Coverage
A report on the England cricket team's victory over Australia in the third Test contained a factual error. The article stated that the match was played at Old Trafford, but it was actually held at Headingley. The scorecard and match report have been updated to reflect the correct venue.
Other Clarifications
Additionally, a feature on the rising cost of living misstated the average price of a loaf of bread in London. The figure has been revised to reflect the latest supermarket data. The Guardian apologizes for these errors and any confusion caused.
