Talk:Henry Wilson, Baron Wilson of Langside

Statement which seems inaccurate
The statement that Baorn Wilson of Langside "remained a Labour supporter for many years until the advent of the SDP", seems not to be entirely accurate. According to The Glasgow Herald, on 30 April 1979, he was one of a few ex-Labour figures who had endorsed the Conservatives in the then forthcoming 1979 United Kingdom general election along with the likes of the former Sheffield MP Edward Griffiths. If this report is correct, then they statement, which does not seem to be cited, would seem to be untrue, although I am not clear if his support for the Conservatives in 1979 was a one-off and he otherwise still supported Labour until the SDP was created in 1981, or if he stopped supporting Labour and actively supported the Conservatives for a period prior to 1981. Without more information I am not sure how best to address this issue in the article. Dunarc (talk) 20:05, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I have now made an attempt to work this into the article, but am happy to discuss further if someone thinks it could be put in in a better way or is not needed. Dunarc (talk) 19:31, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
