Negative view point

[edit]

A total negative, shallow and biased biography. Not what I would call informative unless you were reading it in The Socialist. 31.120.63.6 (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

For 'Member of Parliament for North East Somerset' info box, unlink the 'Succeeded by Dan Norris' as his wiki page is already linked in 'Preceded by Dan Norris' the line above DairyKrazy (talk) 21:07, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure it causes any problem. Infoboxes for officeholders often seem to have repeated links? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:16, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The clear bias of Suzanne Moore's view on Sir Jacob

[edit]

In the Public Image category of the article, only view on Sir Jacob is that of Suzanne Moore's, whose bias towards man like Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg should be clear, given that she has identified as a republican (anti-monarchist) and written for newspapers like "Marxism Today", "the Guardian" and "the New Statesman" all of which are lefists and/or progressive and liberal. She has also written many articles and statesments, for example: a the Guardian Article about "Men on the left are sexist. Labour needs to do more to fix it" and been described as "One of the most precious left-wing voices in the British press" That is why i propose that either A) Moore's overview of Sir Jacob be removed B) Another overview of Sir Jacob be added from a more right-wing or independent commentator. Or C) Moore's views as a Socialist be mentioned, for example changing In 2017 the commentator Suzanne Moore compared Rees-Mogg... to In 2017, left-wing commentator Suzanne Moore compared Rees-Mogg...

Just to note, her Wikipedia article is at Suzanne Moore. It describes here as a republican, but not as a socialist. But then WP is not WP:RS. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that Moore stuff needs to be there at all. What is it really adding? She makes a somewhat dubious comparison to three of the other bet noires of the left, Trump, Johnson and Farage, and then calls him bigot and says his views verge on the fascistic. Is this really helpful to the reader? Compare to a parallel character on the left, Jeremy Corbyn. There is no 'Public Image' section there, the closest thing is a 'Media Coverage' section. This is entirely composed of references to how the media is hostile to him, without citing any quotes from that media. Meanwhile on the Jacob-Rees Mogg article, the largest part of the comparable section is... quotes of the media actually being hostile to him. LastDodo (talk) 16:00, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
