Today I also announce an independent root-and-branch review of the protective security provided by the state to those in public life.
We can defeat those who mean us harm, but we are strongest when we act together.
I would not hesitate to impose further measures on other countries refusing to co-operate.
Those who enter public life do so to serve. Robust debate and criticism are part of the job. Threats, abuse and violence are not.
