Reform UK MPs now get 24-hour security following Ann Widdecombe’s death

• Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin has announced that all eight of the party's MPs have been assigned 24-hour security protection following the death of former spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe in July.
• Pochin revealed that her two adult sons have begged her to quit politics out of fear for her safety, highlighting the severe and intrusive impact constant security has had on her family life.
• Despite experiencing extreme limitations on her daily freedom and needing security guards during ordinary outings, the Runcorn and Helsby MP declared that she will "never be silenced."
• Reflecting on her time in Parliament since winning a by-election in 2025, Reform UK's first female MP described Westminster as the most chauvinistic environment she has ever worked in.
• Pochin urged more women to enter politics alongside figures like herself and Suella Braverman, arguing that a strong female presence is essential to overcoming parliamentary chauvinism.
