Junior UK Minister Robert Jenrick remarks the government failed former Reform UK leader Nigel Farage by refusing to give him publicly funded security in 2025.
Farage spurned the offer of a protective officer, armed car, and driver despite cited threats.
The refusal arrived one year after the 2024 General Election.
Jenrick now labels the decision 'irresponsible' amid continuing safety risks.
Cabinet Office sources verify no taxpayer-funded security was used during Farage’s period as a public figure.
