More than half of women are now concerned for their personal safety in their local area, new polling for Reform UK has revealed.
Some 60 per cent of women fear for their safety when out shopping or going for a walk and 51 per cent are worried about being harassed or sexually assaulted.
Reform leader Nigel Farage described it as the ‘next big issue in British politics’ and said Labour and the Tories have ‘prioritised the interests of illegal migrants over the safety of women and girls’.
It comes as the party launched a new drive to tackle violence and sex assaults against women and girls as Reform’s only female MP blamed migrants with ‘medieval views’ for a decline in public safety.
Meanwhile a Labour minister admitted that ‘there aren't enough police officers on our streets’ while Kemi Badenoch said women have stopped jogging in the park because of ‘men lurking in bushes’.
