If so what needs to be done?
Or do they take on the job knowing the risks?

We’re in a mess atm
Truly
Other EU countries are seeing it too. Politicians utterly messed up and lacked foresight years ago and were all now seeing the impact
This will not improve and no one is addressing it squarely and honestly

@OneMerryRedSnail What!!! No one thinks this was the right way to address anything. Except the Right of course. People like Braverman. The whole point is protecting people who represent us. It’s not accusing the mayor who isn’t running the police.

The only one to address it in UK was Lee Anderson MP and he's had the Tory Whip withdrawn....

Oh OK. You're one of them.
That makes you a big part of the problem as far as I'm concerned. People like Lee Anderson and Suella Braverman thrive on whipping up exactly the kind of hatred and division that fuel the security issues faced by so many of our elected representatives right now.

Can I remind you that David Ames was murdered and Mike Freer had his surgery firebombed sometime before Lee Anderson opened his mouth?

@MrsBennetsPoorNerves "My old friend, Jo Cox, was murdered several years ago now. Those who were actively working to stir up hate and division in the months preceeding that have blood on their hands as far as I'm concerned"
What 'hate and division' do you refer to, and who do you think 'stirred it up'?
