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.
