‘Got to be accessible’: Derbyshire MP presses on with face-to-face surgeries

Robert Largan has made one concession to safety after the death of Sir David Amess: a security guard

At least once a week, Robert Largan, Conservative MP for High Peak in Derbyshire, holds a surgery. It might be outside a supermarket or a train station in his enormous 200-sq-mile patch, but each runs the same. First come, first served, ask him whatever you like.

As he stood in the darkness outside Hadfield station at 7am on Monday, there was one key difference: for the first time since his election in 2019, he had a security guard.
