Junior UK Minister Robert Jenrick remarks the government failed former Reform UK leader Nigel Farage by not providing him taxpayer-funded guard in 2025.
Farage declined the offer of a personal guard, armed car, and driver despite cited threats.
The denial occurred one year after the 2024 General Election.
Jenrick now calls the decision 'irresponsible' amid continuing safety risks.
Cabinet Office sources assert no government-funded guard was employed during Farage’s period as a public figure.
