MP’S anger at ‘despicable’ letter

Andrea Leadsom has received an “anti-brexit” death threat, sent under the pseudonym “the real 48 per cent”.

The letter accused her of having “led us to an abyss” and warned “we are coming for you”. Mrs Leadsom posted a picture of the letter on Twitter, describing it as “despicable” and calling the author a “coward”.

Prominent Leave donors have received similar threats.
