Why don’t you post the character references on here, we can all have a look and then debate from there.
Also, as you are no doubt aware - 4 MP’s gave character reference for the convicted sex offender Charlie Elphicke. Bob Stewart, Sir Robert Gale, Adam Holloway, Theresa Villiers as well as peer Lord Freud.
There were also a number of references for him from local Conservative Party councillors and members, business leaders from his local area. I’ve attached a link for your perusal.
