The Stephen Graham drama is based on the plan to kill her 😡
Labour MP Rosie Cooper has criticised ITV’s decision to broadcast a drama series detailing the neo-Nazi plot to kill her as she told the Commons she has been used as a “marketing tool” by both the broadcaster and the anti-fascism campaign group Hope not hate .
Ms Cooper, who recently announced she will stand down from her seat, told the Commons: “I am appalled at ITV’s recent treatment of the threats to MPs. I have been used as a marketing tool by Hope not hate and ITV. What excuse is there for a press release that says ‘Who is Rosie Cooper, and who wanted to murder her’?“There is no defence to that.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle replied:” The House will know that the safety of members, our families and our staff in this House is one of my highest priorities. Like all members of this House, however, I would have thought that any depiction of threats made against parliamentarians is undertaken responsibly based on the facts and mindful of the impact of those subject to those such threats.
A Hope not hate spokesperson told the PA news agency: “We sympathise with Rosie Cooper for everything she has been through in recent years. No-one should endure murder threats simply for doing their job.
