The murder of former MP and Reform UK figure Ann Widdecombe has renewed concerns about the safety of Britain’s politicians. With threats and abuse increasing, questions are being asked about whether all 650 MPs should be offered close protection and whether Britain could afford it.
David Bull and security specialist Will Geddes discuss the dangers politicians face, the intrusion caused by round-the-clock protection and how toxic rhetoric online can develop into a genuine physical threat.
After the interview, Bull reads a listener’s warning that illegal immigration, the trans-rights row, “two-tier policing”, rising taxes, benefits, antisemitism and net zero are pushing Britain towards civil unrest.
Bull also asks whether major departures from Labour’s election manifesto should trigger a general election and criticises Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s move to the left and prospect of further tax rises.
Presenter David Bull speaks with security specialist Will Geddes.

If you think we have problems now, wait till we get a proper right wing government that starts deporting illegals by the thousand, THEN you'll see the violence of the far left and the said illegals. At the moment, they are all pandered to, but Farage won't cut them any slack.
If politicians were not self serving oxygen thieves they would not have to worry about being safe from the people they are supposed to serve.
I think our current crop of politicians are doing more to put our lives in danger than the other way round.
All the ones born here will stay so stopping the boats wont be noticable, the only thing britons will notice is theyve been tricked into voting away our rights and freedoms and will be sent to the trenches and hit by a drone. Vote your rights away you wont have a choice.
Love hearing Will’s opinion. He is so articulate.
We've imported the third world. Now we have 3rd world politics.
Love hearing Will’s opinion. He is so articulate and knowledgeable.
If I didn't drink every day I would be declared mad now..😂😂😂
All very well giving MP's protection , but WHO is protecting the public from the invasion our MP's are allowing to happen ? where is our protection??
When their times up times up
Politicians 🚽
Do the damn job you was voted in to do then You wouldn't have a problem.
Just vote reform uk every step of the way
This government and civil service seems hell bent on destroying this country
Funny how this country is being invaded, preyed upon and destroyed from the inside by the politicians and their actions we need real criminal charges for politicians going against the country and its people they’re filthy scum
Well they dont give a damn what the people they allow to come here do to us or our daughtes so i dont care .
The main problem in the UK is left wing extreamisem & Islamisem who readily result to violence when you question thier naritive! Britian is broken & needs REFORM UK.
Ask yourself why has this protection needed this did not happen be for the invasion of migrants? Allegedly
I seek no validation for my distant of the islamic cultist and traitors.
Want the lot gone! By any means
I’d like to know if the threats come from “right” wing or “left” wing.
The Social Contract has been broken – Multiculturalism breads factional conflict and creates a low trust society.
And youre all white now if that had been Diane Abbott for example the scum in power would maybe just maybe thought about protecting MPs,..I certainly don't wish harm to Diane by the way
The white British taxpayers need protection from Home Office corruption. The rest need deported or…
My local area has been taken over by people from abroad. I feel unsafe, where is my security and protection ??
Governments have created this and they get protection but joe public are left in dangerous situations with no protection and not allowed to protect themselves. Why anyone votes for the main parties I'll never understand.
The attacks and cunning of parts of the press government machine and TV companies is boundless. I have never known the attacks and smears again Reform voters and their leadership. Right wing thugs to attacks of vile lies to the Reform Leadership. I can only reflect Donald getting the same abuse but it meant more votes.
Number of white British people slaughtered by Muslims and assorted negroid savages: hundreds and hundreds. Number of British MPs slaughtered by white British people? One. Remind me again, who needs extra protection?
Very odd
We dont have Brtish government's any
Pointless having parliament
Out of date like the BBC licence
Nothing left
Nothing working
😮😮😮😮
The guys who put the people, children and families in danger with there fatal policies get protection whilst a father will go to jail for protecting his daughter from home invaders or illegals
People are willing to write things that they’d never say face to face. Thats one of the downsides of social media.
If civil war civil unrest comes about we are all but finished.
First this Fabian labour government are socialist commies. They would like nothing more than civil war that's what all the baiting is about, why, because then they can implement marshal law which means lock down and no freedom no more elections no more anything, the fabians want a commie UK by 2030 with the blessing of the EU. DONT LET THEM HAVE IT.
wait for the green light to remove them if we don't hold back it's the end game for us and our country.
The boats are a problem we know that but this government is something else
They know they can stop them all partys have known that. Its treason and what is the punishment for treason, it was death until Tony Blair stopped it, I wonder why.
Managed Decline
Farage / Reform doesn't want DEMOGRAPHIC SECURITY for white britons. So why should we care about his security.
"King" Andy 🤓 is the equsl of goofy dummy ho goes home first on T¡pp¡ng P○¡nt !
Never mind protecting MPs. Who is going to protect the British public from the dreadful decisions they make that are ruining our lives. They have got a damn cheek complaining about what the rest of us have to endure on a daily basis.
Electricity is racist ;-))
The m.p.s gwt protection what about the rest of us? Look at whats happening to women and kids!
