Farage must be better protected, argues Tory rival Sir David Davis | The Daily T

Описание: The veteran Conservative MP and former Brexit secretary Sir David Davis has called on the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to provide the full reasoning behind the decision to cut funding for Nigel Farage’s security detail.

Sir David, despite being a political rival of Farage’s, tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today’s Daily T that the government’s “premeditated” labelling of the Reform leader as racist at Labour’s party conference may “heighten the risk” he faces and that his role as a high-profile politician means he deserves “serious protection”.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also look ahead to the Conservative party conference, which gets underway this weekend, and ask the question - should Kemi Badenoch mention Nigel Farage or not?
