The recent controversy surrounding Sinead Anderson, the wife of Reform UK candidate Lee Anderson MP, has sparked a political firestorm in Nottinghamshire. Anderson, who defected from the Conservatives to Reform after making controversial comments about London Mayor Sadiq Khan, is now facing scrutiny for her alleged involvement in her husband’s campaign.
A social media post by Lee Anderson MP showed a group of Reform UK members campaigning in Selston, with the caption “We Want Our Country Back.” One of the images included in the post is said to show Sinead Anderson, prompting questions about her role in the campaign.
When asked about the image, Lee Anderson MP did not deny that it was his wife, instead questioning how the media knew it was her. The Conservative Party has since suspended Mrs. Anderson pending an investigation, stating that they have a confidential complaints process in place.
This latest development comes after the Tories faced criticism for not taking action against an MP who openly supported Reform in Anderson’s constituency. The political drama in Nottinghamshire continues to unfold as the Mayoral election approaches, with both Reform and the Conservatives facing scrutiny over their campaign tactics.
