"Maureen Colquhoun, another lesbian MP, did not declare her sexuality until after she left parliament [3]. "
actually the article linked confirms that she has been outed before leaving parliament (it quotes articles from 1976 and Maureen lost her seat in 1979)
"Eagle is a lesbian, coming out in a newspaper interview in September 1997."
Neither of the footnotes back up this statement. If she came out in a newspaper interview, a footnote should give details of that newspaper interview. — Preceding

Last Statement
I'm new to Wikipedia so I am not sure about etiquette and procedure but the last statement regarding the 1992 election seems out of place and could be considered defamatory. Is it ok to simply delete it?
No because it was a true statement.
Notice
Please refrain from making slanderous or libelous comments unless you can substantiate them with reputable sources. Until then, I have reverted the article to an earlier version.

Chessplaying
I believe Angela's a better chess player than even that reference indicates (she has if I remember rightly won international as well as national chess competitions though she hasn't made it her career).
If they are considered irrelevant can someone cite the thinking in wiki rules? EDLIS Café 11:33, 2 July 2016 (UTC) — Preceding

Wikipedia relies on sourcing content to
reliable published sources in an
unbiased manner. The "meme" you have posted represents the precise opposite of both of those principles. Few memes to achieve lasting significance or notability outside the internet communities they originate in; the example posted certainly isn't going to be one of them

Regarding
this edit, I don't think it is an improvement, but i think it would be worth having other editors weigh in.
"though not having previously shown an inclination to rush the selection vote," - I find this phrase to be problematic: it feels like someone is trying to build an argument here. How accurately are we able to measure the NEC's inclinations? (And "previously" is redundant here. If you take it out, the meaning doesn't change.)
"With Duffy out of the running, next came the actual selection vote." The article, and the section meeting, are not just about Duffy, so do we need to repeat the point about him being out of the running, which is clear from the paragraph immediately preceding?
"next came the actual selection vote" - that is a narrative style that is not encyclopaedic in tone.
"The NEC ignored all constituency complaints about this" - "all" seems to have been added here for emphasis, which we would do if we were trying to build a case, but we're not, so let's just stick to the facts.
"though not having previously shown an inclination to rush the selection vote,"
This I just took straight from the source, p. 281.
"With Duffy out of the running, next came the actual selection vote."
Eliminated "With Duffy out of the running".
"next came the actual selection vote"
If you don't approve of the style, it can be redone.
"The NEC ignored all constituency complaints about this"
I actually did delete the "all" after mistakenly re-adding it (you removed it first).
I'm not going to lie: I don't like politicians like Eagle who seem to only get their Commons break thanks to machinations (parachuting into safe seats, or whatever) of the centre. --

Well it is good of you not to lie, however Wikipedia is not a vessel for you to broadcast your personal dislikes. This forgotten trivia is not noteworthy in any way.

Your version of the article article now discusses some allegations about how Kinnock's Labour party handled the selection process in more detail than any aspect of Eagle's 24 year career as an MP and minister. That's ludicrously
WP:UNDUE, and since it was by your own admission inserted for partisan reasons I suggest you recuse yourself from further edits.
