First of all, welcome again. Regarding your edit to Helen Grant (politician), I'm guessing the information you added could be true, but sadly it is without reliable sources so I have reverted it again. If her 'outing' as a Labour Party Member by the Sunday newspaper was an attempt to have her deselected it would help if the information could be backed up with independent references that substantiate this. I'd say the same thing for the confirmation from Conservative Central Office that she'd disclosed her membership of the Labour, and also the information about her being invited to become a councillor as it doesn't say that in the interview. Please take a look at our policy on biographies of living people and by all means discuss any changes you want to make on the talk page and hopefully we can get the information in the article as accurate as possible.

Helen Grant again
[edit]Hey. I've been looking at your edits and what the source actually says about the IPSA ruling (and will do so just now for the expenses claims). You need to make sure that *anything* in these sorts of areas is really thoroughly sourced from reliable, third party sources. I dare say (as above) that much if not all of what you've written is fact. But, partly because it changes the POV to be rather more favourable towards her, it really needs to match up with the source(s) used to verify it. If you can do that then please re-add. Ta.
