Sinead Anderson is a senior Conservative councillor in Nottinghamshire County Council
Ashfield MP Lee Anderson's wife has been suspended by the Conservative party. Sinead Anderson is a senior Conservative councillor of Nottinghamshire County Council but a photo reportedly shows her campaigning for Reform UK.
However, his wife remained a councillor representing the Conservative group. A picture posted by Mr Anderson on Twitter last Saturday appears to show Mrs Anderson in the background of a group campaigning for Alan Graves, Reform’s candidate in the East Midlands mayoral election, the Mirror said.The door-knocking session took days just days before Mr Anderson announced a ‘non-aggression pact’ with former Tory colleague Ben Bradley - who is standing for the Tories in the same election.
Approached for comment by the Sunday Mirror, Mr Anderson did not deny it was his wife in the picture, instead repeatedly asking: “How do you know it’s her?” Steve Carr, an independent councillor on Notts County Council, asked the local party to confirm whether Mrs Anderson would remain a member of their group. A member of the Tories’ disciplinary team replied: “Thank you for submitting your complaint to the Member Governance Team. I can confirm that it has been safely received and is currently being reviewed.”“Councillor Sinead Anderson is a senior member of Nottinghamshire County Council and it is only right that is being looked into.
