Nigel Farage not holding constituency surgeries amid concerns over knife attacks

Former Brexit Party leader says he is 'not prepared to put staff at risk'

Farage has been the target of several protests and threats in recent months

Nigel Farage has said he will not be holding any more constituency surgeries amid concerns over knife attacks.

The former Brexit Party leader said he had made the decision after being advised by police that there was a "credible threat" to his safety.

Farage has been the target of several protests and threats in recent months, including one incident where a man was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill him.

In a statement, Farage said: "I am not prepared to put my staff at risk. I have a duty of care to them and I will not do anything that could put them in danger."

Farage's decision to cancel his constituency surgeries has been met with criticism from some, who say it is a sign that he is out of touch with his constituents.

However, others have defended Farage's decision, saying that he has a right to protect his safety.

It is unclear when Farage will resume holding constituency surgeries.
