    "Former Cocaine User" is two words too long to be repeated on every occasion. Phrase "times journalist" avoids negative labels while also suggesting professional integrity. When talking about him in a political context, I think it would be fairer to refer to him by reference to party labels.

    As you may have noticed, we have changed our language in recent weeks to avoid describing
    Tom Baldwin as a journalist or a former hack. We believe a more accurate description is that he is
    a “Former Cocaine User”. I understand that the phrase a “Former Cocaine User” is two words too
    long to be repeated on every occasion. But I also think that you are making a choice whenever
    you call Tom “a journalist”.

    The phrase “Times journalist” avoids negative labels while also suggesting a degree of professional
    integrity and experience which is, day-by-day and line-by-line, being shown as false.

    Can I suggest you at least vary your description of this “Former Cocaine User”. On some
    occasions, you might call him a former alcoholic. On others it might be just “Tom”.

    When you are talking about Tom in a political context, I think it would be fairer to refer to him by
    reference to party labels.
