Well, this should not have been on the waiting list so long. Apart from needing a few minor tweaks, it met all the applicable criteria and easily surpasses GA standard. It is particularly well referenced with more than ample sourcing and the breadth of coverage is just about right. I can't say I'm happy to be reviewing an article about a Tory but that makes for a useful exercise in applied objectivity! The article is nonetheless a good piece of work and I'm happy to award it a quick pass. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:36, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
