Should the UK provide round-the-clock security to all 650 MPs at a cost of up to £100m?
Reform UK has proposed round-the-clock protection for all MPs and some former politicians, estimated to cost up to £100m per year. The announcement follows the targeted killing of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe. Current MP security funding totals around £4m annually, with the government and Commons reviewing further measures after her death.

Though our stances may differ, I agree with Twinkle. The question is too broad, but £100m annually from £4m? What a joke. Sounds like yet another excuse to hike taxes.
All MPs need to be able to safely speak and do their job but not all will need the same level of security. The question is too broad to reduce to yes and no.
