Justice minister explains to BBC why he is standing down from London seat at next election over safety fears
A minister has described how he escaped David Amess’s killer by a “stroke of luck” after announcing he will not seek re-election over fears for his safety.
Mike Freer, the justice minister and Conservative MP for Finchley and Golders Green, said “a constant string of incidents” including death threats, abuse and narrow escapes had led him to decide to stand down at the next election.
