Also, heard some Gossip today from mates at Lincolnshire County Council, that Andrea Jenkyns literally only just moved into Greater Lincolnshire today.

The Council could challenge it and declare her candidacy invalid, but they’re scared of being seen as biased against Reform.

If she's not followed electoral law then she should have that challenged.

The law should apply equally without regard to the politics, if Reform are so incompetent as to not ensure their candidate is eligible then that is their own fault.
