Dame Andrea Jenkyns' flyer has been branded 'misleading' by rival candidates in the Leeds South West and Morley constituency

A Tory candidate has issued a campaign leaflet with a prominent photo of her posing with Reform leader Nigel Farage - but no clear mention of the Conservative Party .

He said: “I think it’s disgusting that Andrea has used that and not put on the leaflet that it’s Conservative party. I think it’s misleading. I think it’s disgusting to hide behind Nigel Farage to get the Reform voters to believe that she is for Reform. And it goes onto detail Ms Jenkyns’s previous parliamentary ‘highlights’. These include 'securing £24.5m in levelling up funds' for her former constituency and delivering food and prescriptions to locals during the pandemic.

Speaking near Jenkyns' constituency office in Morley today, voter Toni Briens, 58, said: "I would say she shouldn't use it, as I should think that falls outside the political protocol and canvassing guidelines. But because I'm going to vote Reform and she's got Nigel Farage on the leaflet, I would say it's good because any publicity for him is good for Reform.
