An apology to Etan Smallman

THE article Finding Peace in the Trolly Land: How releasing a memoir makes me a Corbynista (M Star September 20) should not have been published without additional checks.

The article made a number of allegations about an interview that journalist Etan Smallman conducted with the author Lauren Booth. However, the interview in question had not been published and evidence for the allegations had not been provided.

Ms Booth’s article said: “I knew the ‘P-word’ would draw a certain kind of journalist to circle my book launch seeking the first scent of blood.”
