Sarah Pochin Says All Reform MPs Now Have 24-Hour Security

Pochin says the eight Reform MPs are under round-the-clock protection after security was stepped up following a killing in July.

  • Sarah Pochin announced that all eight Reform MPs now have 24-hour security, a measure stepped up following the death of Ann Widdecombe in July.
  • Ann Widdecombe, a former Tory minister and Reform spokeswoman for immigration and justice, was killed at her home in July, prompting the security review.
  • "I'm so grateful for the security, but it is very, very intrusive," Pochin said. She can no longer shop freely or visit Sainsbury's without security guards.
  • Her sons, aged 25 and 27, have begged her to quit politics due to safety fears. They told her, "Mum, please stop what you're doing."
  • Pochin, Reform's first female MP who entered Parliament in 2025, described Westminster as the most chauvinistic place she has ever worked. She previously worked for Shell and as a justice of the peace.
