Former defence and education secretary Sir Gavin Williamson has won a complaint against a Birmingham Live article that described a village in his constituency as the “grimmest” in the UK.

The ruling came months after Mail Online removed its own similar story about Featherstone, South Staffordshire, which had been provided by agency SWNS – also following a complaint by Williamson.

However the description of Featherstone as the “grimmest” was not part of the complaints.
