[edit] Joint highest vote share

This unverified claim about Rosindell getting the joint highest vote share at the GE of any Con MP is mildly interesting, but needs to be backed up by a source or deleted.

According to this, he is, by a tiny margin, the second Tory MP with the highest vote share.--Johnbull 01:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT?

Is he really gay? I've seen some scurrilous rumours on various political sites, but nothing more solid. Might be on dodgy ground here...Widmerpool 13:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of personal comment

I have removed the following and added a fact tag to the assertion about working for Archer.

" . . This is untrue as my mother was actually a dinner lady and pianist. She never worked for Mr Archer at all . . . This is edited by Owen Rosindell (Andrew's Brother)."

I have removed the reinsertion of the above and to avoid an edit war, I have also removed the contentious comment about Rosindell's mother. No doubt this can be reinserted if there is a source. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 10:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

removed content - "to a mother who worked for the young Conservative politician Jeffrey Archer at the time - this is wrong. Andrew's mother DID NOT work for Jeffrey Archer. She worked as a dinner lady at Rise Park Junior school. This information is posted by Owen Rosindell - Andrew's older brother."
