message: Please revert this edit. There is no source for the claim he is styled "The Honourable", and according to the relevant article MPs are not entitled to the style in writing. This is confirmed by Some Traditions and Customs of the House, page 2 stating "People outside Parliament often think that the use of "Honourable" in the Chamber translates into the style of address to be used when writing to Members. It should be stressed that this is not the case. In the UK, unlike certain other Commonwealth countries, a Member is simply addressed as "Henry Smith MP", or "Ms (Mrs) Jane Smith MP"; not "the Hon Henry (or Jane) Smith MP"; this last form of address would be used only for the son or daughter of a peer who was not entitled to any other courtesy title."

message: Regarding recent edits, which version do people think is preferable from a neutrality perspective?
* "a self-confessed loyalist" -- new version favoured by Special:Contributions/86.151.34.39 (spelling corrected)
* "He has referred to himself as a loyalist" -- previous version, and favoured by myself
The rationale behind my preference for the earlier version is as stated in this edit summary.
Any views please?
Many thanks, --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 19:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: * Well, it seems that despite notification on user talk, the editor who favours the "self-confessed loyalist" version has not yet responded to this discussion, neither have they provided any rationale for their version via the edit summary (either intially or when reverting). Therefore, in view of the style guide which specifically cautions "be judicious in the use of admit, confess, and deny, particularly for living people, because these verbs can inappropriately imply culpability", and the fact that the context does indeed relate to a living person, I am going to reinstate the version which avoids the term "confess" pending such time as anyone else engages with this discussion. If you agree or disagree, please say something. Thanks. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 01:16, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the agreement. By the way, it's not actually a version I wrote, just existing text that I was restoring. I suspect that the current UK political situation is likely to lead to more than usual editing activity on DUP-related articles. This calls for every effort to keep everything as neutral and dispassionate as possible. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 21:14, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
