Former Tory minister and MP Andrea Jenkyns defects to join Nigel Farage's Reform
Mr Farage announced at a press conference in central London that Dame Andrea had joined Reform and had also been selected as its candidate in the Greater Lincolnshire mayoral election in May next year. The news of the defection came after Zia Yusuf, the Reform chairman, revealed the party had now exceeded a milestone of 100,000 members.
