Part 8: Laura Farris

Good to see meritocracy at work in the Tories, with this MP being the daughter and neice of two former Tory politicians. I& #39;m sure she worked hard to get where she is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Farris">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laur...

An Ahmadi Muslim, Ahmad-Khan is thought to be the world& #39;s first openly gay Muslim MP, a fact that some anonymous editors keep trying to remove from his Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imran_Ahmad-Khan">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imra...

Part 19: Simon Baynes

Seems obvious to me that some MPs have already been editing their own Wikipedia pages. Mr Baynes& #39; page mentioned his charity work, but not the fact that he worked for JP Morgan for 24 years. I had to rectify that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Baynes">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo...
