Footnote

edit

There was a footnote regarding the suspension of Anthony Mullen. The material has been deleted by one or more IP users several times without explanation. Latest deletions of the material have said "The footnote is outdated and incorrect - see: https://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/politics/new-sunderland-councillor-apologises-over-social-media-posts-as-conservative-party-lifts-suspension-1-9150423" and "Reason for and nature of suspension incorrect".

The content of the disputed material is:

Antony Mullen has been suspended by the Conservative Party and is under investigation due to a series of offensive social media posts he has made both about Sunderland and Labour MP Diane Abbott. He remained on the ballot as a Conservative candidate, and was reinstated after being elected.[1][2]

This material is supported by the links to reliable sources provided. I can't find any part of it (apart from tense) which is contradicted by the sources or not included in the sources. I don't understand the case against inclusion. Ralbegen (talk) 23:44, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
