Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities edit

I cant find anything about her resignation from this role, it is only mentioned on her list of roles, not on her main page, and there is no citation. She is also shown as still in her role on the parliament website [1]. I need a citation to say otherwise, else this will be reversed

Marcha de Cordova who held a post one above her in the hierarchy stepped down. I believe that this could be the reason for the incorrect edit in the first place, similar post but Charlotte holds a lower down the chain one. Max Soleil (talk) 22:54, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

The BBC are now reporting this as a 'mental health episode', whatever that means - apparently she's on medication for PTSD. This sounds suspiciously like damage limitation spin, but we need to tread very carefully. --Ef80 (talk) 13:22, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I wasn't sure about including this information and originally removed an addition of it last night, mainly because it was badly worded and I thought it was a bit trivial. But then I had a go at rewriting it, particularly as the complaint to her party leader could have repercussions for her political career, and there are others involved allegedly, so it is relevant. I do agree we need to be cautious here though. This is Paul (talk) 13:42, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
It certainly should be included, as it's been reported in multiple RS. We just have to be careful when suggesting she was or wasn't drunk. This is inevitably a somewhat gossipy story, despite the very real and important issues involved. --Ef80 (talk) 14:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
