It s hard to follow all the named references now that they re sitting here on a talk page Do any of them actually say there was a faction The ref makes it sound like collaborating with Murdoch was a fact of life for all British politicians and he was a British politician so But that s not the same as being part of a faction To be clear these are hard hitting important references that need to stay in the article I d rather have bare references floating around in mid air with no text at all than leave them out let s put it that way But such an absurdity shouldn t be necessary just give each article a bit more of its own voice say what it says not what you re trying to argue from it They have a pretty strong voice of their own already
