**Data quality flag:** The source data's biographical section appears to contain information about Michael Mansfield (UK barrister) rather than Michael Stansfield (this candidate). The roleLine and bioSummary fields don't match the candidate name and would be factually incorrect if published. This needs verification—either the candidate name is wrong, or the biography was mismatched during data import.
