‘It’s terrorism’: Ann Widdecombe’s 'murder' reignites debate over Farage’s £5m security

On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss the latest developments in the case of Ann Widdecombe’s killing, news which has rocked Westminster and the wider political world over the weekend. 

As news breaks that the investigation into her death is now being lead by counter-terrorism police, they focus the discussion on whether more should be done to ensure the safety and security of political figures and MPs in today’s ever-polarising world.

Iain Duncan Smith also discusses welfare reform, the issues with Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and criticises the latest Timms review into disability benefits.
