"Earlier this year, a £75million spending package was revealed to improve the protection of MPs at Westminster.

Three female MPs were also given taxpayer-funded body guards amid growing fears against the politicians. It is unknown if all three were re-elected last week.

The unnamed trio, including Tory and Labour MPs, were understood to have close protection from private companies as well as chauffeur-driven cars, usually reserved for senior Cabinet members. Other MPs also turned to ex-SAS officers to protect them.

Private security was also provided protection at hundreds of constituency surgeries in the wake of the murders of MPs Jo Cox and Sir David Amess.

Tory MP Mike Freer even announced that he would be stepping down from being an MP after describing an arson attack at his constituency office on Christmas Eve as being the 'final straw'.

Paul Harwood, 42, was charged with arson with intent after a shed was set alight at the former justice minister's office in Ballards Lane, North Finchley, on Christmas Eve last year."
