It comes as the police investigation into Ann Widdecombe's death sparks renewed debate over politicians' security.

Reform UK's Treasury spokesman has accused the government of a "dereliction of duty" over Nigel Farage's taxpayer-funded security, claiming it had previously been "downgraded". Robert Jenrick said his party leader had not been offered the security he needs, after it emerged Reform UK turned down an offer of government-funded security last year. It comes as the alleged murder of Reform's Ann Widdecombe, which is now being investigated by counter terrorism police, has prompted renewed debate over the security offered to politicians. The Home Office said Jenrick's comments were "categorically untrue", with a spokesperson adding that ministers were not involved in deciding MPs' security. Farage is set to meet with the Home Office over his security arrangements, after accepting an offer of a meeting made by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. Reform's Zia Yusuf has previously claimed parliamentary officials took the decision in September last year to cut Farage's publicly-funded security by 75%, with party donors stepping in to cover costs. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Jenrick was asked to clarify whether the package offered to Farage was similar to that of Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. Asked if this was the offer Farage rejected because he felt it was insufficient, Jenrick replied: "That's right. Yes that's right."
