MP Heidi Allen 'shaken to core' by 'Brexit hate mail'

An MP who was sent death threats 'related to Brexit' said the messages had 'shaken her to the core'. Heidi Allen, South Cambridgeshire MP and interim leader of the Independent Group, was one of seven MPs targeted by Jarod Kirkman. It made her feel 'very vulnerable', she said, but did not cause her to question her role as an MP, adding: 'I will not be bullied.' Kirkman has admitted sending malicious communications and awaits sentencing. Ms Allen, who quit the Conservatives to join the Independent Group in February, said Kirkman's threats were not the only abusive messages she had received.
