The BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg has been assigned a security detail at the Labour party conference following online abuse, reports suggests.
Ms Kuenssberg, who is the first woman to lead the BBC's political coverage, will be accompanied by bodyguards while reporting on Labour events during the four-day conference in Brighton, which started on Sunday.
The corporation also decided to bolster Ms Kuenssberg's protection during the general election in June after she faced threats over alleged bias in her reporting about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. She was also accused of partiality by supporters of the Conservatives and Ukip.
