Complaint
Laura Kuenssberg tweeted that a Conservative Party advisor had been punched by a Labour activist during a visit by the Health Secretary Matt Hancock to Leeds General Infirmary.听Readers complained that the tweet was inaccurate, poorly sourced and showed bias, and that a later apology was inadequate.
Outcome
Subsequent video footage showed that no punch had been thrown. The original tweet was taken down and a correction published alongside the new evidence. This, combined with a later apology, was sufficient in the ECU鈥檚 view to resolve the issue. It found no evidence of political bias nor that Laura Kuenssberg had failed to check the story before publication
