The next time this individual appears on the media can someone ask her to justify why she wants to splash £74k on new offices . There is an ongoing cost of living crisis happening and yet Jenkyns thinks it is appropriate to waste money on new offices. So much for Reform promising to save money !

UK Politics @politicsintheuk.bsky.social · 1d

Only months ago, Refuk were stuffing Derbyshire letterboxes slagging off the council boss’s pay as a “waste of money,” even comparing it to the PM’s. Now they’re in power, they’ve upped it to £181k + £20k bonus. Classic Farage lies, all talk before the vote, total sellout after.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party Ltd controls 12 UK councils, and 8 of them are likely to raise council tax next year.
This is despite their promises to cut ‘waste’ to ‘save a lot of money’ using their Trump & Musk-inspired DOGE team, and where are they now — either DOGE team?
A con. Both of them.

Yusuf stamping his feet because the crowd aren't full racists and therefore, 'not representative' of the UK, says pretty much everything. The man's a liar, he doesn't care for people who see through his party's bullshit, and he really doesn't like being challenged much either #bbcqt
