British politicians advised to take taxis home amid fears of Brexit violence

London (CNN)British Members of Parliament have been advised to take taxis home, over fears that they could be attacked by members of the public over the handling of Brexit.

In an email obtained by CNN, Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle wrote to lawmakers explaining that the Serjeant at Arms — who is responsible for security — had organized for black cabs to collect MPs from within the grounds of parliament in Westminster, central London.
The email — first reported by PoliticsHome — was sent late afternoon on Wednesday, after Prime Minister Theresa May said she was seeking a three-month delay to Britain’s departure from the European Union.
