Boston and Skegness MP, Richard Tice, temporarily halted his campaign activities after an incident involving a knife-wielding individual. The person was spotted in the vicinity where the MP was conducting his campaign. The Reform UK MP took to social media to share an image of the individual brandishing a large knife. Tice reported the incident to the police, who responded swiftly and with great professionalism. The situation was deemed serious due to the MP’s presence. The incident, Tice says, was quite a shock, particularly given it took place in peaceful Lincolnshire. He was advised to suspend his campaign until the situation was fully resolved. The offender, a 16-year-old boy who remains unnamed for legal reasons, was arrested and charged with possession of a knife in a public place. He is currently out on bail and is due to appear in court at a future date. Lincolnshire police confirmed the charges and the boy’s arrest.
