General Quality / Tidy-up

I'm afraid, to be blunt, quite a lot still needs to be done - the quality of many articles on politicians can be quite partial and 'bitty'. I've broken up a long list of sentences into subsections, and then tried to pull things together into thematically consistent passages and paragrahs, but feel free to suggest any alterations. Another thing I felt was inappropriate was that quite a bit of material seemed to be partisan. For example, letters sent to local newspapers aren't appropriate for Wikipedia, or else there would be rampant letter wars(!), so the response to his expenses issue should be summarised as being "negative" or "critical", for which there is actual evidence. Something the article would benefit from is the addition of a few citations, such as on his educational background, if anybody can find a source for that?

Resignation from Conservative Party on 1 April 2019

Hi everyone. This event has happened in the past hour and several people have made edits (including me). One thing to be ascertained: Has Mr Boles actually left the Conservative Party yet? The page has been edited to say that he has, but I see no confirmation of that online or from Mr Boles statements. Resignation from the party is a very different thing from resigning the whip, or resigning from the local Conservative PArty association. Accuracy on this point is important.

As far as I am aware, there is no confirmation (yet). I personally suggest reverting the edits for the time being. Sr88, talk. 21:47, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

I believe this Tweet confirms it: https://twitter.com/NickBoles/status/1112828931818881025

Do tweets such as this count as reliable sources? I would be inclined to consider it as a sort of statement from Mr Boles, but I think we need factual confirmation too Sr88, talk. 21:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

WP:SELFSOURCE covers us nicely here, I think. Ralbegen (talk) 22:00, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
