Instances of abuse reported to the police by politicians are not always followed up by forces, an MP has told Sky News, as he recalled having his car vandalised and office subject to an arson attack

Speaking in Leigh-on-Sea alongside Labour MP Wes Streeting, whose Ilford North constituency borders his, he said there would probably have to be some changes to MPs' security arrangements, but added:"We cannot allow that to undermine the democratic traditions of this country."

"My office was arsoned, my car was smashed up, someone tried to get into my house and injure me - managed to stop them. "But we can't let evil destroy democracy. This was pure evil what happened here. We cannot allow that to undermine the democratic traditions of this country. He said he did not want to"rush to snap judgements" but acknowledged that"something has got to change".

"Wes and I are probably examples of that, we're neighbouring seats, we've never had a bad word to say about each other, in fact quite the opposite.

A taste of self realisation! This is what happens when your leader is asleep at the wheel, the Home Secretary weak and years of cuts, lies, and little respect for public services and ordinary people. You get what you vote for!

Welcome to our world.

Go fish

Can you produce both allegation? It's not uncommon for me to deal withe three stabbings in a eight hour shift. So how often in a year is his car scratched, and explain exactly that the 'arson was'.

Many public servants from Police Social Workers Doctors etc face danger on a daily basis so lets have no special treatments for MPs...

Love how tories are now complaining because they've only just realised how useless the police are after tory cuts, take your crime numbers and move on, attacks are wrong obviously but I bet there's far more attacks on tories than any other party, wonder why

Mate , crimes in general aren’t followed up!

Care Home Staff were in MORTAL DANGER at the start of the pandemic and were thrown under the bus by MPs they were incredibly brave and treated disgustingly,MPs should thank their lucky stars the Care Staff thought of others not themselves …which THE CABINET would not understand

How about the abuse made my Labour MPs !!!

Our useless police have not been following up most crimes reported by the public. If we had a decent police force then we wouldn’t have half the problems we’reseeing on our streets today. UK policing is nothing more than a national disgrace and a joke!

If this is what's happening to our politician's they need more protection and more prosecution's should be happening because they are just trying serve are communities and they are human being's just like the rest of us .

Arrpendam-se o Messias está vindo, trazendo recompensa para todos de acordo o que fuzeram, recebam Jesus Cristo como seu Senhor e Salvador o tempo acabou sejam juntos.

The result of systematic dismantling of Police by successive governments.

Welcome to our world, that's what happens after years of cuts and neglect. You're lucky they didn't you to investigate your own crime report.

Sometimes you have to ask what are the police doing

See, MPs can show they understand what kind of policing the rest of have to accept.... 20,000 officers cut, wasn't it?

That's not just reserved for politicians, the police follow up on very little these days.

Write an offensive tweet and the useless bastards spring into action though.

Sounds like any other night in Romford if truth be told

Instances of abuse to doctors, nurses, police, fire fighters, shop workers, and pretty much all other jobs in the UK don't get followed up because our police force has been decimated...

Sigh
