Reform UK’s Lincolnshire mayor Andrea Jenkyns proudly trumpeted a ‘landmark trade deal’ with Taiwan and was schooled into the next millennium

Fictional nonsense. Pure mendacity. You cannot agree trade deals, that is for the government.

Is there anything about Reform, except their racism, chauvinism and noise-making, that’s actually not fake? https://t.co/YQsMLGZK7e pic.twitter.com/C0QWc8rI4y

Is this “trade agreement” in the room with you now Andrea?

I would like a regional mayor who knows what they are doing. https://t.co/7AeGM5aiP8

@andreajenkyns saying she's signed a trade deal with Taiwan is like a gammon saying they've signed a trade deal with the USA when they've ordered Maccy D's at the drive through.
