I have trimmed down the content of him being educated at Derby Grammar School, sourced from Facebook. I don't think Facebook is an acceptable source, as we don't know whether this is actually him. I have trimmed the content down to what the profile actually says, which is that he went to Derby Grammar School, nothing more. This is a compromise wording while we discuss on the talk page.

I have also removed the reference to him obtaining a first class degree, as the reference cited (Nottingham Post) does not state anything about his degree classification, only that he obtained a degree. Please do not reinstate without having a reliable source backing it up. -- TuringBox ( talk) 20:19, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
I have restored the section named above, deleted in entirety by This is Paul in this change with the edit summary "find a better source please".
It is bad form to delete an entire headed section and references - IMO this is breaching WP:NPOV in that the piece referred to was written by Bradley at an established site and was carried by the European political correspondent of the Daily Express newspaper. If an IP deletes headed content it would be flagged and regarded as vandalism. Bradley commented on his electorate's Brexit voting as "72% to Leave the EU", and again to deny this to Wikipedia readers is breaching NPOV.
The sub heading prose was originally added by an IP address and I cited it in this change with the edit summary "Expand the IPs one-liner exclamation, citing the original article that pre-dated the newspaper coverage, leaving the newspaper ref in case of Link rot".
I hope not to see any further deletion of this supported prose, and if dissatisfied I have invited User:This is Paul to refer the sequence to reliable sources noticeboard for their comments.- Semperito ( talk) 13:01, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Ben Bradley (politician) → Ben Bradley – Only other "Ben Bradley" (rather than "Benjamin") is the Hollyoaks character, who has no article. Unreal7 ( talk) 14:11, 23 August 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Galobtter ( pingó mió) 12:32, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
