In post 44 Sophy Gardner says:
I am happy to be living in Gloucester as the first home I have not been posted to. It’s a great place in case you haven’t been here.
However, rather than being a specific location of choice, it would
appear to be more a case of where she could finally get chosen as a Labour Prospective Parliamentary Candidate. It would appear this was her third attempt, as the quote from the Gloucester Labour website states
Gardner was previously shortlisted for the Feltham and Heston and Rotherham selections. Shortlisted twice previously, but not selected, see
Gloucester CLP select their PPC | LabourList
and see:

No doubt Sophy also thinks that Rotherham and Feltham are "great places"?
I'm sorry if Sophy or anyone thinks the above comments are unfair since I am anonymous and she isn't, but they all come from Labour Party websites, are in the public domain, and as a prospective politician Sophy must expect her actions to come under more scrutiny than most - it goes with the territory I'm afraid!
