YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“It is nothing new that members of parliament or political people have been subject to potential threats.”

It would be a “massive burden and probably impossible to deliver” top-level security to every person in politics and there’s “no simple answer” to the issue, says former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind.

Sir Malcolm Rifkind was speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every Monday-Thursday, 6-10am.
