Emily Thornberry
In our edition of August 31, we published an article about the purchase earlier this year of an Ujima Housing Association property in Rawstorne St, EC1, by the husband of Emily Thornberry MP. We stated that Ms Thornberry had been contacted by a number of Ujima tenants prior to the sale of the properties regarding their concerns about being forced to leave because Ujima could not afford to undertake renovation work.
Emily Thornberry has asked us to make it clear – and we are happy to do so – that she was not approached by a number of tenants, nor that she told anyone that she would make enquiries about Ujima before the sale of the properties and that she has a full record of all contact with constituents.
We regret the error.
