Deputy PM highlights ‘widespread vilification of politicians’ as he reveals most recent incident was threat of an acid attack
The deputy prime minister, Dominic Raab, has revealed he has received three threats “to life and limb” in two years that have resulted in police intervention.
Raab was speaking as politicians and the public struggle to come to terms with the killing of Sir David Amess, the Conservative MP for Southend West who was fatally attacked while meeting constituents in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on Friday.
