A recent article concerning Welsh Labour has been updated to clarify statistics on poverty in Wales. The piece originally stated that “the proportion of people in Wales considered to be in very deep poverty rose from 33% in the 1990s to 47% in 2023.” It is important to note that these figures, supplied by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, represent proportions of individuals already classified as living in poverty. Over the past two decades, the overall poverty rate in Wales has remained relatively stable, hovering consistently around 21% to 22% of the total population.
Other articles that have recently been amended include pieces on CEO pay at major US energy firms, an obituary for Dave Mason, coverage of the crisis in Britain’s live music scene, a US exhibition on monuments featuring Rocky, the release of ‘America250’ passports with Donald Trump’s image, and a report on methamphetamine use in Australia.
