Reform UK row erupts over MP safety after death of Ann Widdecombe

In the wake of Ann Widdecombe’s murder, members of Reform UK have called out the house of commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle suggesting that Reform UK MPs do not get enough security support.

Spokespeople like Zia Yusuf and Richard Tice have pitched this as the “establishment” vs Reform UK argument, just as Nigel Farage did when he resigned as MP for Clacton.

Pippa Crerar has been speaking to people in Lindsay Hoyle’s team who have pushed back angrily at Reform UK’s claims.
