Reform's Andrea Jenkyns to march against solar panels in ‘dumb stunt’
Dame Andrea Jenkyns, Reform UK Candidate for Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, speaking during the Reform UK East Midlands Conference at the Athena Events Venue in Leicester, January 3, 2025
REFORM UK’s Andrea Jenkyns faced ridicule today for organising a“dumb stunt” this weekend in which she plans to protest against solar panels.
Ms Jenkyns defected from the Tories to Reform last year before announcing her ambition to become the mayor of greater Lincolnshire.
As she ramps up her campaign, she plans to lead a march tomorrow through Lincoln against the “solar land grab,” bemoaning the loss of farmland to “industrial-scale” developments.
