What Sunak’s Chief Whip said about the new Reform Mayor of Lincolnshire (Andrea Jenkyns)
Until July 2024 Andrea Jenkyns was a (semi-detached) Tory MP. She lost her seat, subsequently defected to Reform and is now the elected Mayor of Lincolnshire.
In his memoir Ungovernable (2025) Rishi Sunak’s Chief Whip 2022-24 Simon (now Lord) Hart has a number of rather critical mentions of Jenkyn in the book.
On 21st March 2023 Hart is reprimanding Tory MPs who had not supported the Government line:
Andrea Jenkyns, What can I say? It was she who was photographed giving the finger to reporters outside No-10 during her fourty-four day Ministerial career under Liz Truss and who has been bad-mouthing the rest of us on Twitter ever since
On 24th January 2024 Hart was meeting Tory rebels on the 3rd reading of the Rwanda Bill, in one to one interviews
Andrea Jenkins arrived with her dog and her six year old son and then attempted to say that because she has ADHD she ‘couldn’t be held accountable for one what comes out of her mouth’

The local election post mortem rumbles on. People (like Andrea Jenkyns again) just can’t help but provide a running commentary when the classier option is to stand back. We ignore her as usual
The only question is how long it will be before Jenkyns starts doing the same to Farage
