Centrist Labour MP Wes Streeting complained to independent press regulator IMPRESS about an April article published containing details of witness claims about his behaviour toward Labour front-bencher Diane Abbott. The regulator’s findings have now been published and are reproduced below in accordance with the SKWAWKBOX’s regulatory obligations.
The SKWAWKBOX’s response to and analysis of the complaint and the judgment – which makes no finding of inaccuracy, misrepresentation or distortion – can be found here.
The full adjudication document, including evidence provided by the SKWAWKBOX to IMPRESS, can be found here.
Impress have done nothing for their reputation with this.
Why did Ms Abbotts team decline to comment?
