Zia Yusuf has received criticism over his claim that the state provides Reform MPs with “no protection whatsoever”. Given the way this headline is worded, many are (understandably) taking it to mean Reform MPs have been given police protection by the state. I want to clarify that the opposite is true. The state is providing no protection whatsoever. In fact, based on what I have seen in the… pic.twitter.com/TaFZzEMNkH — Zia Yusuf (@ZiaYusufUK) July 12, 2026 Zia Yusuf: Nobody ‘cares about security of Reform MPs’ The headline Yusuf was responding to read: Reform MPs given 24-hour protection in Widdecombe murder hunt…

There are Palestinian journalists who covered previous international tournaments, some of whom attended the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but who will never make it to the 2026 tournament. Not because they are behind bars, but because…
