The Daily Telegraph has issued an apology to the MP for Castle Point in Essex, Dr Robert Spink.
“Following our coverage of the Conservative party’s withdrawal of the whip from Dr Robert Spink MP, [he] maintains that he had, in fact, resigned before it was withdrawn,” the paper said.
“We now recognise that there is no basis for the allegation that Dr Spink had had an affair and apologise to him for having suggested the contrary.”
