With this editbyWicorbottt, it is clear that some explanation is needed to indicate why the added content needs to be removed wholesale. Some of the content can be restored with adjustments, but other sources are wholly unacceptable in a biography of a living person due to reliability concerns, particularly when alternatives exist. An opinion piece, like this one, should not dictate how the article is phrased. Additionally, it's notable that no reasons are given for why Johnson has opposed the spending, despite his rationales being widely reported.
Several passages are also original research, prohibited in a BLP:
There has been considerable speculation regarding Johnson's motives
Between fall 2023 and spring 2024, Russian forces have capitalized on the weakened Ukrainian air defense caused by Johnson's blocking of American security assistance, which allowed them to increasingly damage Ukrainian energy infrastructure, with 80% of all thermal power plants destroyed in April 2024
These edits should be reverted and will be pending a day for discussion (it's a BLP, so I want to move quickly). My previous attempts to remove the POV content included the restoration of content relating to foreign leaders opposing Johnson's actions, as this seems immensely relevant to the article; my edits to this effect were also reverted by Wicorbottt. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think the issues that Republicans are having with governing in the House and their reliance on Democrats to pass key legislation may warrant its own article. I have created a draft, Draft:2023–24 House of Representatives legislative coalition, which I think talk page watchers of this page may be interested in. I would love help and suggestions, including those from people who don't believe this warrants an article at all. Thanks! Esolo5002 (talk) 19:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I just removed the Churchill-thing again per WP:LEAD. The sources are good for a mention in some form, still WP:LEAD fail. It also fails WP:NOTNEWS, "breaking news should not be emphasized".
IMO, the same applies for having the Ukraine 60bn thing in the WP:LEAD at all atm, very recent and if it leads to anything, time will tell. Re-wrote the Churchill-sentence: [1]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Off-topic, but per coverage like [2][3], I wonder if Churchill or Chamberlain could be a decent WP-article. Or do we have a "List of political allusions" or something like that somewhere? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good day, there is an error in the last paragraph of the Speaker Tenure section. It says "11 Republicans and 32 Republicans," when it should say "11 Republicans and 32 Democrats." Archigan (talk) 12:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
