Robert Jenrick: “I have had no contact with the Met Police whatsoever in connection with this matter.”

Frankly, it is offensive to working people and I have had enough.

The government chose not to give Nigel the security that he needed. They now have, as a result of Ann Widdecombe’s appalling murder, offered him a meeting.

Those who need them, under a Reform government, will continue to receive them but those people who are shirking, who are taking advantage, they will be reassessed and they will be helped back into the workplace.

These allegations are entirely false, but it is no surprise that an establishment determined to stop Reform from delivering the change that this country so desperately needs would resort to making these demonstrably untrue claims.
