BBC Politics labelled as misogynistic and snobbish after describing new mayor Andrea Jenkyns "a former Greggs worker and Miss UK finalist"

The BBC Politics account on X has been labelled as misogynistic and snobbish after describing new Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, Andrea Jenkyns, "a former Greggs worker and Miss UK finalist".

The BBC Politics account posted:

Reform UK's Andrea Jenkyns is the new mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, marking a return to politics for the former Greggs worker and Miss UK finalist

James Cleverly, MP for Braintree, is one of many who have responded to the BBC, calling their post "contemptible".

This tweet is contemptible. She’s a former MP and minister.

There are genuine questions about how she’ll deliver on Reform’s vague promises, or deal with Farage’s ego now she has elected power and he doesn’t, etc

But this is just snide. @BBCPolitics should delete and apologise.

Rael Braverman also commented:

Another great example of why the MSM is dying.

This is a nasty and snide comment. @andreajenkyns is a former MP and Minister.

Will @BBCPolitics delete or apologise? Let’s wait and see.

Retweet to highlight.
