Hi! I'll be reviewing this article, using the template below. I hope to complete the review over the next couple of days. Ganesha811 (talk) 15:12, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

@AFreshStart: there are some comments below that should be addressed before we move on with the last part of the GA review. Thank you! Ganesha811 (talk) 03:50, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
@Ganesha811: Thank you for your comments! I have trimmed and summarised the political views section, so hopefully, it doesn't read as disjointed anymore. —AFreshStart (talk) 14:26, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
That section looks a lot better, thanks for making those changes. More comments coming shortly. Ganesha811 (talk) 15:51, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
@AFreshStart: just a couple more changes to make (see Prose and Sources), then I'll do my own run-through for the nitpicky stuff, and then we'll be just about there! Ganesha811 (talk) 14:17, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Why was his change of party removed from the lead, if his party membership is in the lede then all of them should be.Slatersteven (talk) 15:05, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

I don't think it was, his change of party is still in the lead as of the latest revision to the article (and the previous dozen I checked). Ganesha811 (talk) 15:10, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
[[1]] looks like it removes it. Ahh its mentioned twice in the lede.Slatersteven (talk) 10:51, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
@AFreshStart: let me know when you have finished making edits and I will do the final review for pass/fail GA standard. We're close to done I'd say! Ganesha811 (talk) 16:50, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

@Ganesha811: Thank you for being so patient with me! I think I have finished my edits now 🙂 —AFreshStart (talk) 16:57, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
All done! This article passes GA standard. Congratulations to you and to everyone else who worked on it. I'll do the needful now. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:30, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I suppose it's too late now that it's already up, but based on everything about Gapes' feelings towards Brexit in general, helping form a political party with basically the sole goal of overturning Brexit, what he said in the Bailey's speech being that Brexit would hinder that unity needed to create Bailey's, and even how it was reported on at the time, wasn't it a very anti-Brexit speech rather than pro-Brexit as mentioned in the DYK?

DYK? Also we do not say it was pro-Brexit.Slatersteven (talk) 15:50, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
@Kensai97: The DYK was initially inaccurate. It was previously mentioned as pro-Brexit in the DYK on the front page. Entirely my fault as I wrote that in the hook (see above) – pure typo on my part and I can only apologise. I think I meant to write 'pro-EU' or 'anti-Brexit' and came up with... the exact opposite of what I meant. I did realise as soon as I saw my notification for the DYK that it was inaccurate (I somehow missed it throughout the rest of the process!) but by then the damage had been done. —AFreshStart (talk) 16:35, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
