Hi No Great Shaker, review follows: article promoted to GA on 8 September; article is of good length; Article is cited to reliable sources throughout; I don't have access to many of the sources but I checked those I could. I found one passage seems to be taken from this BBC source: "a new social order that would ensure better housing, free medical services and employment for all", that needs rewording; hooks are both interesting and mentioned in the article. The milk hook is cited offline and I am happy to AGF that it supports this, bacon checks out to the online source; QPQ checker confirms one is not required. If you can paraphrase the one passage then I think this is good to go - Dumelow (talk) 09:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, Dumelow, and thanks for the review. I've revised that clause which now reads: "...so Labour's manifesto promised full employment, improved housing and the provision of free medical services". Please take a look and see if that's okay. All the best and keep safe. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:50, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
