Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy stated that the police, not politicians, made the decision for Taylor Swift's security, dismissing claims of undue influence. The involvement of senior Labour politicians in discussions about security was procedural due to potential threats, emphasizing that operational decisions remain with law enforcement.
Nandy asserted that 'the police made the decision' regarding security for Swift's concerts, indicating a long-standing protocol whereby police assess security risks independently of political figures.
Nandy emphasized, 'Neither the prime minister nor the home secretary, nor the mayor of London has the power to override the police on this matter,' reinforcing the importance of police autonomy in operational decisions.
The home's secretary's role in concert security conversations is crucial, especially after a terror threat caused cancellation of Swift's Vienna show, highlighting the prioritization of safety in public events.
