I can't see behind the paywall but he's a man who has had his share of problems, most of which he seems to have brought upon himself. The website suggests that he's running. He can be energetic. He used to have plenty of money (but he'll have quite a bit less now). And 14 years as the MP plus his local business links (severely damaged by an unpleasant dispute) will attract some support. Labour has carefully positioned itself in opposition on the local council (by their insistence on their running a minority administration they pushed the Tories and Lib Dems together) so some scope for squeezing. The small boundary changes favour Labour. Maybe.

Bridgen's libel case against Matt Hancock is allowed to continue - Hancock's attempt to get it struck out has been refused. However he has to amend the claim because he hasn't made it clear how people would understand a tweet which didn't name him did definitely mean him: www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/KB/2024/623.pdf

About as obvious as a stampeding ostrich accidentally crashing into a French window. It is even more obvious that it’s not even remotely libellous. About as obvious as an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping being gang-raped by a herd of rhinoceroses.
