My Take
Andrea Jenkyns interests me as a study in reinvention. A trained opera singer and music teacher who walked into Westminster, then left the Conservatives for Reform UK and won the Greater Lincolnshire mayoralty — whatever you think of her politics, that is an unusual amount of nerve. I suspect the stage training matters more than people realize: opera teaches you to project conviction to the back row, and her career has run on exactly that. She is a polarizing figure, and I will not pretend otherwise, but the singer-turned-politician arc fascinates me, a reminder that performance and politics have always been adjacent trades.
