In an interview on LBC on 29 November, after announcing the defection, she said a Reform UK donor offered her a “bribe” of £80,000 to join the party on the night of the 2024 election.

In an interview with GB News, Jenkyns called for the UK government to allow shale gas fracking, saying “we’ve got this [gas] under our feet […] to me it’s a no brainer. I’ve always been pro-fracking.

She also labelled the government’s Secretary of State for the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, “dangerous” and a “madman” by alleging that efforts to build onshore solar and wind farms, and pylons would harm the country’s food security by lowering the share of land used for agriculture.
