UK and US React to Trump Assassination Attempt

The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania has heightened concerns over political security in both the US and the UK. Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle expressed his fear for the safety of UK MPs, especially after a general election campaign marked by unprecedented levels of intimidation. High-profile politicians in the UK receive round-the-clock protection, but backbenchers remain vulnerable, as evidenced by the murders of Jo Cox and Sir David Amess. Coverage of the Trump incident was limited in print due to deadlines, but extensive updates and live coverage are available in various eNewspapers. Sir Lindsay and former MP Harriet Harman are calling for enhanced security measures to protect MPs from increasing threats.
