Heather Wheeler has posted on Facebook that she intends to stand again. Mildly surprising.

Heather Wheeler has posted on Facebook that she intends to stand again. Mildly surprising. Because she’s likely to lose or for other reasons do you mean?

Her prospects of office are minimal. Her health has been chancy. She should win. But her local party has been fractious. Labour was successful in the last local elections and now run the council. The boundary changes favour Labour. Reform has a candidate and should appeal here. An outside chance of a surprise.

The Labour candidate Samantha Niblett certainly seems, if her social media is any guide, to be formidably active and optimistic by nature.

I have had the misfortune to meet Heather Wheeler a few times. Good God were the Tories scraping the barrel making her a minister. I see a Labour gain here, things seemed to have really changed in Labour's favour around these parts and whilst it is not an easy gain i would not be surprised if it was in the low 1000s.

If the local party is super fractious then maybe she’s standing purely to block someone else.
