Starmer: “It is deeply concerning to everyone in this House. There is now a police investigation, and I think we all need to do everything we can to support that investigation and be absolutely clear in our determination to deal with any of these offences, the like of which we’ve seen too much recently.”

Nigel Farage has told the Telegraph his house was targeted in an arson attack last year:
“It was an outright arson attempt. I wasn’t at home at the time, but when I came back and opened the door I found the damage. Luckily it had burned itself out in the porch, and we think maybe the perpetrators were disturbed in the act. The police were all over it. They did their best but there are no suspects so far… I’m acutely aware of the love for me, but equally the levels of antipathy that exist. Sometimes things happen when there are cameras there, but there are plenty of times when things don’t make the news, like pints of beer being thrown over me or the attack on my home.”
He also revealed Christopher Harborne gifted him ‘a seven-figure sum’ for personal security in early 2024, just before his return to politics:
“This money was given to me so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life… I have tried and failed in the past to get security funded by the Home Office and I don’t think the state will ever help me. I’m very much on my own and will be for the rest of my life, and I have to face up to that…”

Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
