Suspected sockpuppets

I first came across the BermondseyBob account in February 2020, they have only edited one article the bio page for MP Richard Holden []. Their edits for example: [] are very much promotional in favour of the article's subject. They re-emerged in November 2020 and resumed making promotional edits such as this one []. The second account that I'm suspicious of being either a sockpuppet or meatpuppet is MattSmithConsett []. They also only edit this MP's article. Their first edit was to restore content made by BermondseyBob. They then subsequently continued to add POV edits. Cowlibob (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * BermondseyBob's last edit was two months before MattSmithConsett created their account. The assumption is, assuming these are the same person, they just lost their password and created a new account, which is not a violation of WP:ILLEGIT.  I'll leave a uw-agf-sock on their talk pages, but that's as far as this can go right now.  They still need to comply with WP:UPE and WP:COI, but that's another issue. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
