Blanchard, Jack (14 August 2019). "POLITICO London Playbook: The People's PMQs - Ham fisted - Postcard from the Valleys". POLITICO. Retrieved 13 May 2020. - about halfway down the article, it discusses Thomas-Symonds and his constituency, also mentions a bit about his views, may be useful if creating a section on political views etc.

Legal directories[edit]

I query whether plaudits in the legal directories (the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners) qualify as anything more than Wikipedia:Wikipuffery. It is true that the directories decide whom to include, or not to include, and that inclusion denotes a certain level of market profile, but the quotes are garnered from referees proposed by the subject, who then pays a handsome sum for an entry (and an extra amount for additional prominence). I would favour deletion of the relevant passages, but would be interested in the views of others. 45ossington (talk) 17:56, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
