Nigel Farage turned down taxpayer-funded security which reportedly included a trained driver, car, and bodyguard last year because he deemed it “inadequate”.
The Reform UK leader was offered the package, which was on the same level as high-profile Cabinet ministers and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, following police advice, according to The i Paper.
But Mr Farage turned the security down. In a statement to The Independent, Reform UK said the offering, which came days after the assissination of Charlie Kirk, did not match the threat against the party leader.
“Reform took the responsible decision to maintain proper protection rather than gamble with his life,” the statement said.
The emergence of the refusal comes after Reform home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf claimed the state was “providing no protection whatsoever” for Reform’s MPs in the wake of Ann Widdecombe’s alleged killing.
