Labour's whip Kieran McAnulty has asked Parliamentary Service to review security for MPs, saying he was concerned about the escalation in anger over vaccinations and mandates. He said he had received threats online after the clips were posted, and would be talking to MPs from all parties, and Parliamentary security about what steps could be taken to better ensure MPs' safety. He said MPs were visible targets, and he had received threats to his face and online. MPs could already use Parliamentary funding to have security systems installed in their family homes, and he believed that should be extended to their Wellington residences. He said MPs also parked their branded cars outside their homes, so it could be easy to work out where they lived.
