Overview

• At Birmingham's NEC, Jenkyns arrived in a sparkly blue jumpsuit and repeatedly sang "I'm an insomniac" before her speech.
• She told attendees she co-wrote the song nearly 20 years ago during her time in a rock band, dedicating it to a late friend.
• Casting the performance as political messaging, she said Britain is "sleepwalking into disaster" and urged Reform activists to "wake up the establishment."
• The appearance warmed up the crowd for Nigel Farage, who told the rally the government is in "deep crisis" following Angela Rayner's resignation and a stamp duty row.
• Jenkyns, now Reform UK's Greater Lincolnshire mayor, previously served as a Conservative MP and minister under Liz Truss and was an ally of Boris Johnson.
