The Sunday Telegraph – Bodyguards for MPs as extremism threats rise
Private security bodyguards are being deployed to protect MPs amid a “generational radicalisation moment” sparked by the Israel-Hamas war, reports The Sunday Telegraph.
Speaking to the paper, Security Minister Tom Tugendhat says he has been “reviewing existing security measures for MPs in the wake of the murder of my colleague and friend Sir David Amess”. The paper also reports on comments by Tim Davie, the director-general of the BBC, in which he says “being progressive” is something staff should be proud of, and that the corporation walks a “joyous tightrope of the culture wars”.
