Jenrick accuses government of dereliction on Farage's security
TL;DR
Reform UK's Robert Jenrick accuses the government of a dereliction of duty by downgrading Nigel Farage's taxpayer-funded security, which Farage reportedly rejected as insufficient. The Home Office says ministers do not decide MPs' security and Farage is set to meet Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to discuss protection ahead of his Clacton by-election, as debate over politician security is revived by Ann Widdecombe's death and ongoing concerns about MPs' safety.
