Sacking[edit]

In an interview on the BBC "Today podcast" with Amal Rajan and Nick Robinson, David Neal said that he had evidence that the Home Secretary, James Cleverley, had wanted to reappoint him for a further 3 years but had been overruled by "Number10". Kahuzi (talk) 09:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is a primary source so if included would have to be along the lines of "he claimed that..." to make it clear that it was not an independent source. MarcGarver (talk) 11:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
