MPs' staff demand better security after threats and attacks

Staff working for members of Parliament are calling for urgent improvements to security after a survey revealed widespread threats and abuse. The survey, which included more than 500 employees, found that 78% had received threatening messages or calls. Nearly one in three said they feared for their own safety or that of their colleagues. Additionally, half of the respondents reported experiencing clinical levels of psychological distress. The staff reported instances of physical attacks and ongoing harassment. They are now urging authorities to tighten security measures to protect those who work in Westminster. The findings highlight the growing concern over the safety of parliamentary staff, who often deal with public interactions and heated political debates. The survey's results come amid a broader discussion about the need for better protection for public officials and their teams. Staff members say the current level of security is not enough to prevent abuse and ensure a safe working environment. They are calling for immediate action to address the situation.
