Junior UK Minister Robert Jenrick remarks the government let down former Reform UK leader Nigel Farage by refusing to give him government-funded guard in 2025.
Farage rejected the offer of a protective officer, secured vehicle, and driver despite reported threats.
The refusal came one year after the 2024 General Election.
Jenrick now calls the decision 'irresponsible' amid ongoing safety risks.
Cabinet Office sources confirm no publicly funded security was used during Farage’s period as a public figure.
