Talk:Kate Hoey

Her Outward Bound bio says...
Kate Hoey has been the Labour Member of Parliament for Vauxhall since a by-election in 1989. Kate was born and brought up in Northern Ireland and attended the Ulster College of Physical Education before taking an Economics degree in London. She has always been very interested in sport and was once the Northern Ireland High Jump Champion. She has worked for a number of football clubs including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Queens Park Rangers, Chelsea and Brentford, as Educational Advisor. Kate was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Frank Field, the Minister for Welfare Reform, after the election of the Labour Government in 1997. In July 1998 she was appointed as a Minister in the Home Office before becoming Sports Minister in 1999, a position she held until the 2001 General Election. She is very interested in foreign affairs, visiting Sarajevo at the height of the siege and monitoring the first democratic elections in Angola. Kate was appointed a Trustee in October 2002.

"Racist" ban
I feel this statement needs to be expanded somewhat. The former "ban" on LP membership in Northern Ireland stems from the party's electoral pact with the SDLP, the implication being that Labour supporters in Northern Ireland join the SDLP. I'm sure somebody like Kate Hoey may allege that this is racist, but it could be argued that this allegation is sensationalist, hysterical political hyperbole. Hoey's views are certainly worthy of mention, but I'd suggest that a slightly more neutral and informative tone be used when explaining the issue. 213.121.151.174 (talk) 11:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Stonewall
I removed the following: "Unfortunately this survey uses such a small data pool that it is completely invalid. The votes on which the MPs are 'scored' also make the survey misleading as they do not directly relate to gay rights issues." It is clearly PoV whether this Stonewall survey is 'clearly invalid'.

Unattributed Statement on Photo
The section regarding editing photos is attributed to have been (paraphrase) "edited by Kate Hoey". An unsubstantiated claim. Removed for lack of encyclopedic merit. 00:33, 28 May 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galesbury (talk • contribs)


 * You are right. It is an unsubstantiated claim in the citation used, although not in other reliable sources which could be used instead. The issue is trivial and probably not of long term interest, but I have restored the passage with no one now blamed for the change. Philip Cross (talk) 13:37, 28 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I have added another source where the change is more clearly attributed. In this source we have "Speaking to ITV News, Ms Hoey admitted her staff had edited the picture..." A version is in the Standard citation too. Philip Cross (talk) 15:27, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
