Reform UK, Andrea Jenkins has been elected as Mayor for Greater Lincolnshire has declared an end to “soft touch Britain.”
In her victory speech Jenkins attacked those who “called the police on her” and accused her of “sleeping with political allies,” she then took aim at Independent candidate Marianne Overton claiming they “made complaints” about her.
Speaking to GB News, Jenkyns said, “As I said in my speech, I thought it was important to address this because it’s been soul destroying, this campaign.
“I’ve fought four general elections, three local elections, and it’s been horrible. It’s been personal.”
Jenkins added, “The Conservatives have called the police on me, we’ve had them saying I’m sleeping with political allies.
“We’ve had the independent candidate, her husband had complained to the council and there was a hearing and our barrister had to get involved. It’s been completely dirty.”
Jenkyns told GB News, “I think this has probably demonstrated this result, really, that people are switched off by dirty tactics, and it’s about restoring that trust.
“Dirty politics does not work, or it’ll only work short term, and we’ve got to listen to the people and deliver for them. I got kicked out as a Conservative MP – I trust in the electorate, and I will not let the people of Lincolnshire down.”
Jenkyns said, “My priority is about restoring trust for the public. I’m going to be forming a Transport for Lincolnshire, just like we have a Transport for London, but there’ll be no diversity officers on my Transport for Lincolnshire. It’d be key strategic decision makers to finally fix the infrastructure problems across Lincolnshire.
“A big thing for me, I know that people are struggling. We’ve got some of the most highest energy costs in the world, and I want to look at the balance sheet, I want to look at the tendering process.”
She added: “I want to look at the local Government contracts to ensure that every penny of taxpayers money across Lancashire is well spent, so that I can keep council tax low for them and deliver for them.”
