Dame Andrea Jenkyns made a rock star entrance to the Reform UK conference when she appeared on stage, singing a song she co-wrote.
Donning a sparkly blue jumpsuit, the Reform UK Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire performed ‘I’m an insomniac’ for a packed audience at the party’s rally.
Grinning widely with her arms open, the former MP, aged 51, danced around the stage at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre while singing her song, Insomnia.
Addressing the audience post-performance, Dame Jenkyns remarked: ‘Is this dreadful Labour Government causing you sleepless nights and insomnia as well?’
She continued: ‘I co-wrote this tune nearly two decades ago with a dear friend who’s now passed away, god bless him. Back then, I was part of a rock band and quite rebellious. Later, I became a Conservative MP and dressed more conservatively, though the rebellious spirit lingered beneath the surface.’
The ex-Conservative minister, who joined Reform last year, is no stranger to the bright lights – and even brighter outfits.
Earlier this year, she impressed supporters by celebrating her win in May’s mayoral election wearing an outfit reminiscent of Abba at the announcement of the results.
She sparked discussions among fashion enthusiasts and political observers alike when she dazzled on stage in a blue sequined pantsuit, reminiscent of the 1970s pop icons, as she assumed Reform’s most significant political position.

Following her win, she promised a ‘new dawn in British politics’, vowing the party would ‘reset Britain to its glorious past’ after she secured her spot as the Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire in May.
The former Greggs worker and Miss UK finalist, 51, now holds the power over an annual budget of £24million after zooming ahead of her Tory rival Rob Whiltham by around 40,000 votes – bagging the support of 104,133.
Immigration and efficiencies in local government, including a British DOGE for each council they control to slash town hall waste, were at the heart of Reform’s campaign.
Elsewhere in North Tyneside, the party narrowly missed out on having a mayor, with Labour leading by a small marginal win of 444 amid the political earthquake as the local election results roll in.
In her winning speech, she hit out at her opponents, vowed to put an end to ‘soft touch Britain’.
‘The fightback to save the heart and soul of our great country has now begun,’ she said,’ she said: ‘Now that Reform is in a place of power, we can help start rebuilding Britain. Inch by inch, Reform will reset Britain to its glorious past.
‘We will tackle illegal migration. We’ve been working on policies… I say no to putting people in hotels. Tents are good enough for France, they should be good enough for here in Britain.’
It is not the first time the Swedish power pop combo have popped up in her political career.

The politician originally from West Yorkshire, is no stranger to the band’s much-loved tunes, with the trained soprano belting out their Mamma Mia track live on Radio 5 in 2016.
She was challenged to sing after she had proposed a duet with Ed Balls, who she beat in May 2015, abruptly ending his ten-year career as an MP after hundreds of Labour voters witched allegiance in Morley and Outwood.
Her latest song came as she warmed up the crowds for ahead of Reform leader Nigel Farage’s speech.
The 61-year-old politician, fresh from his visit to the Oval Office to meet President Donald Trump, appeared in jubilant mood as he spoke to his followers.
Arriving on stage to fireworks and loud music, Mr Farage told crowds the Government is in ‘deep crisis’ following Angela Rayner’s resignation today.
‘Not only have they fallen into deep unpopularity in just a year of winning the general election but it’s become clear to all of us that it is a Cabinet full of wholly unqualified people to run our country. They are not fit to govern,’ he said.
The Reform leader also attacked Rayner after it was revealed she underpaid £40,000 of stamp duty, in a move millionaire Mr Farage said ‘screams to entitlement’.

He told the conference: ‘The Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary until half an hour ago is an accomplished property developer and speculator. But you simply can’t get away can you from being the Housing Secretary and avoiding £40,000 of … tax. It screams to entitlement.
‘It screams to a Government that despite all the promises that this would be a new different type of politics is as bad, if not worse, than the one that went before.’
He added: ‘We’re being told that right now the Prime Minister is organising a reshuffle. Yet another reset. And that the names of the new Cabinet will come out later this afternoon.
‘Well I didn’t want the Prime Minister to do anything to spoil our conference, and that’s why I’ve come on the stage now to say they are not fit to govern.’
