Police have arrested a man for threatening to kill Nigel Farage, just days after the tragic killing of former MP Ann Widdecombe, GB News understands.

The suspect described himself as a terrorist on social media and warned the Reform UK leader: “I am going to shoot you in the head if you win”.

News of the arrest comes just hours after Reform UK home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf delivered a public address to highlight the security risks around political figures, and pledge a Reform government would provide suitable protection for both serving and former MPs.
