She was given protection by a former soldier at the Labour event In Brighton after a wave of abuse and threats over alleged bias in her reporting.

Ms Kuenssberg was also accompanied by the bodyguard at the Tory conference the week after, though it was claimed this was so the broadcaster could maintain political balance.

She spoke at a Jewish Care business lunch in central London about the difficulties she faces trying to do her job.
