Sir David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, has called on Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, to provide the full reasoning behind the decision to cut funding for Nigel Farage’s security detail.
Despite being a political rival of Mr Farage, the veteran Tory MP 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 under way this weekend, and ask the question – should Kemi Badenoch mention Nigel Farage or not?
