All Reform MPs have now received 24-hour security following the death of Ann Widdecombe, a former Tory minister and prominent figure in the Reform party, who was killed at her home in July. Sarah Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, confirmed that security measures for the eight Reform MPs have been significantly increased since Widdecombe's death. Pochin also revealed that her children have urged her to leave politics due to safety concerns. Recently, she took a holiday to North Wales with her husband, accompanied by two security guards while walking their dogs along a coastal path. Pochin expressed gratitude for the security measures but noted that they are highly intrusive. She explained that she can no longer go clothes shopping, buy makeup, or even visit a supermarket like Sainsbury's due to the risks involved. Despite this, she remains determined, stating, "I will never be silenced." Reform UK leader Nigel Farage had earlier raised concerns about a reduction in his own security and met with the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, a group responsible for the safety of high-profile individuals. Pochin entered Parliament in 2025 after winning a by-election and has described Westminster as the most chauvinistic place she has ever worked. She has previously worked for Shell, served as a justice of the peace, and held positions as a Conservative councillor and mayor of Cheshire East. As Reform UK's first female MP, she has faced challenges, including instances of sexism, such as men shutting doors in her face. She encourages women to join her and former Tory minister Suella Braverman, who defected to Reform in January, to address these issues by being strong and present in Parliament. Pochin's experiences highlight the ongoing challenges women face in politics, particularly in environments perceived as male-dominated. Her call for more women to enter Parliament underscores the need for greater diversity and representation in political leadership.
