News Shopper would like to retract an accusation made about Ann Barnes in Sunday’s website story.
The story, which has since been corrected, wrongly suggested she had made racist remarks on her Twitter account in the past.
We can categorically state this is not true and are happy to correct this error while apologising for any offence or distress this has caused.
