## Resource

Reform UK is facing mounting pressure after the tragic death of Ann Widdecombe, with the party now paying for round-the-clock security for MPs amid fears of copycat attacks — a move critics say reflects political paranoia, while Commons officials insist all MPs receive appropriate, risk-based protection. Nigel Farage’s comments suggesting the attack was premeditated have drawn sharp backlash, with police urging restraint and the Home Office confirming expanded security support for MPs nationwide.
