In Lincolnshire, Reform mayoral candidate Andrea Jenkyns is pledging to stop solar & grid upgrades. Reform is gunning hard to win the May election.

It bears repeating that climate breakdown is already costing Lincolnshire via heatwaves & floods, & could instead profit from being a renewables hub.

Fuck 'em, flood the place. It's full of racists, Tories and gammons anyway.

Lincolnshire is one area that I would not mind climate change doing its worst on. Has almost zero redeeming features.

Do NOT allow that woman anywhere near a public office job never mind mayor. The vile rhetoric that shes has spewed. Absolutely no interest of others but her own.

Reform is completely funded by oil companies fact.

We should tell her it’s 1952 and she will be happy

Whatever the merits or demerits of her policy positions in that leaflet they are either mostly or wholly out of the control of the mayor.

True, and thankfully so, but I feel it would be unwise to underestimate the potential risk to climate politics that could result from Reform building up a political stronghold in Lincolnshire!

They have that already and prob not the high tide yet. Though bar lab moving towards (unlikely though they may backtrack for other reasons) then I don't see a great risk in policy terms to present Gov policy.

No pylons?

Look also at growth and employment figures associated with govt’s green energy plan. Jobs are always a good argument.

Sadly considering the level of political illiteracy in Lincolnshire this obviously stupid strategy will have a receptive audience.

The best way to undermine her is refer to her as being a Trump
Supporter.

Even right wingers loathe him.

Reform are benefiting from huge amounts of money behind them. They don't need to bother about election expenses since scrutiny has been weakened even further.

The good people of Morley threw her out, so she's moved to the Putin's Puppet's Party and the only area of England far right enough to vote for someone unable to string a sentence together.

Ah! 'Common sense'. The characteristic that every swivel-eyed looney thinks their views possess. The logical fallacy that is the weakest justification for any opinion (right or wrong).
The hallmark of the intellectual pygmy.

As someone who lives in the ‘shire I can say that Andrea Jenkyns can f—k off back to whichever stone she crawled out from under
