A Labour MP has said she dialled 999 and evacuated her children from her home in the middle of the night following an 'immediate firearms threat'
"It was the length of time between one email and the other. I was thinking 'this is somebody stewing, this is somebody stewing for so many hours' and actually saying 'how do you want this rifle to your head or through the window'.""At the time it was really, really real," Ms Shah said.
The MP said she stayed in her home while she waited for the police, but made sure her children were taken to a safe place. She said:"I've got a thick skin and I just carry on with it but my kids and my family do worry. That causes more concern.""It's never nice and you should never have to get used to it, and you should never get used to people threatening your family. It shouldn't be a pre-requisite for doing the job."Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer wrote on Twitter:"My thoughts are with @NazShahBfd and her family for all that they have had to endure.
York Crown Court confirmed that Alam, of Princeville Street, Bradford, admitted three counts of sending malicious communications and one of perverting the course of justice part-way through her trial.
