Farage tellsLBC that he has been advised not to hold surgeries in Clacton due to fears over his safety.

Farage says he is not allowing the public to "flow through his office with knives" in response to whether he is meeting constituents.

The Speaker’s Office and Parliament’s security team have no recollection of telling Nigel Farage that he should not hold in-person surgeries in his constituency, the PA news agency understands."

If Farage can have sufficient security to go to a pub, he can have sufficient security to meet with his constituents.

And I am genuinely not being flippant. I do imagine there are serious security concerns for MPs - but I expect our security services to provide good advice and workarounds and for MPs to make that their priority.

There is sweet FA stopping Farage having pre-booked surgery appointments with his constituents Confused That and security at his office would address his "safety concerns" Hmm

As we all know, the real reason is that he is too lazy doesn't want to because he doesn't care about his constituents Hmm

I'd feel sorry for them if they hadn't voted for them Angry I do feel sorry for those of his constituents who he didn't vote for and who he's still supposed to represent Sad

Amazing non news! Simon Case to resign next month. The investigation into the leaks will have to wait. Or something.

Former Tory MP Owen Paterson’s claim that his human rights were violated by a Parliamentary inquiry has been rejected by the European Court of Human Rights

The same Owen Paterson who calls for leaving the ECHR

Paterson is a bit of a blast from the past! Am much amused by his appeal to the ECHR.

As for Case - I'm sure he'll be well looked after. He certainly knows where the bodies are buried. Maybe he can get involved in lobbying for nuclear power or something.

He's announced that he's giving up his controlling stake in Reform. I wonder if it's cramping his style. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd6q0j8pdj4o.amp

By giving up does he mean selling his shares? And if so which lunatic brave person will buy them?
