A man who threatened to kill the prime minister and sent a flurry of “menacing” messages to a Labour MP has been jailed for 23 months.

Cambridgeshire police said Lee White sent the messages to Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, the MP for Tooting in south London, over a four-day period between 29 August and 1 September 2024.

White, 52, was arrested at his home in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, on 4 September last year.

Police said the messages contained racial abuse and threats to kill Keir Starmer and cabinet ministers.
