I agree - surely this is the only way to make decisions focussed on protective security. The threat assessment must come first.
Decisions about protective security should be based on a clear-eyed assessment of the threat and impact they face.
I don’t presume to know what the outcome should be for Prince Harry, that is not for politicians. But having with my security hat on, having worked in national security, I strongly believe the only relevant consideration should be the assessed level of threat, and the professionals should be allowed to reach that decision independently.
Police protection is not a reward for public service. It exists to prevent attacks, deter those who would do harm and manage known risks before lives are lost.
Those responsible should of course make their assessment based on evidence, intelligence and risk - not headlines, politics or public opinion.
The central question is simple: what is the genuine level of threat faced by Prince Harry and his family when they are in Britain?
The decision should be made independently on that basis alone. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Context is everything, and so crucial to support an accurate narrative. Unhelpful to jump on isolated sentences or figures.

Your network of friends, family & acquaintances is important in supporting your ambitions through example, motivation & accountability. I’ll need this network in the weeks ahead as training for London Marathon begins in earnest.

This was always going to be the hardest crossing of the 5 & its proving so. 7days in 120km covered. Route diversions due to thawing ice, massive boulder fields, deep soft snow, short sharp climbs & freezing temperatures. Tough 1st week with some days only being able to cover 10km
Equal opportunity to sport is so important, and starts with changing perceptions
The #WhoSays campaign is back! This time we're calling time on negative perceptions towards disabled children and young people in sport and activity. Find out about the campaign, watch our new films, and get involved right here: activityalliance.org.uk/news…

Woody is running a mile for every British soldier who fell in Iraq & Afghanistan; an epic feat of endurance for remembrance. After his 14th marathon in 14 days, Woody dropped in to touch base with the CASEVAC Club after today’s #RemembranceSunday parade. FOLLOW HIM
Absolute legends.
Leaving Sunbury Lock. Next stop Molesey (21.43 miles) then it’s just one long final 4.81 mile slog to the end, but it will all be worth it if you keep donating!! 🙏

A clear vision for people with disabilities in sport. So good to see this being addressed.
Today we launch our new strategy #AchievingFairness. It is not right that disabled people are the least active in our society. Our vision is fairness for disabled people in sport and activity. We cannot achieve this alone, join our movement for change. activityalliance.org.uk//new…
