A security detail would know where Farage was and who he was meeting at all times.
I can't help thinking that might have been a factor in Farage declining the offer.

JFC. I lived in France the first time round so escaped the stupidity. Maybe I should emigrate again.
‘A metaphor for a nation gone soft in the head’: the bizarre return of Mr Blobby

Just noting that when Sarah Everard was kidnapped and murdered by a police officer and a vigil held for her on Clapham Common, Farage urged people not to attack men or the police.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Important data point here: “A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance”.
The Greens have already hurt Labour even before any direct gains.

Man saw me struggling to push a trolley at the garden centre and offered to help. Then a woman who’d seen me struggle returned it for me. Feeling a bit overcome from the kindness.
