Fears for Safety Prompt Resignation
Mike Freer, a pro-Israel Tory MP, has announced his decision to step down from politics due to concerns for his safety. The Justice Minister informed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of his resignation, citing the numerous threats he has faced.
Arson Attack and Ongoing Threats
The 63-year-old MP revealed that he feels "lucky to be alive" following an alleged arson attack on his London constituency office in December. While he acknowledges that some abuse is expected in his line of work, he expressed his belief that it should not come to a point where he questions his survival on a daily basis.
Terrorist Connection Raises Security Concerns
Ali Harbi Ali, a terrorist, was found to have visited Mr. Freer's constituency office a month prior to the murder of Essex MP David Amess in October 2021. This revelation has heightened concerns over Mr. Freer's safety.
Familial Worries Play a Role
Mr. Freer emphasized that the increasing threats have also affected his husband Angelo, who has become increasingly worried, especially after the attack on the office. Taking his family's concerns seriously, he decided to step down from politics.
