Labour’s deputy leader issues statement after man pleads guilty to malicious communications
Angela Rayner has spoken of facing “terrifying and explicit” abuse against her family, as a man was sentenced for threatening her because he claimed she was “partially responsible” for the murder of the Conservative MP Sir David Amess after she called Tories “scum”.
Rayner, the deputy Labour leader, issued a statement about the abuse she had received, saying the threats “had a devastating impact on me, my children and others close to me”.
