After Jo Cox’s Murder, Death Threat to Another Labour Party MP

Yvette Cooper was sent death threats for sending out e-mails in support of Britian staying in the European Union.

Less than a week after Jo Cox was shot dead in her own constituency, another Labour Party MP Yvette Cooper was threatened on Twitter, on Tuesday.

The threat message accused her of sending pro-EU propaganda emails, adding “Please stop or I will kill your kids and grandkids.”

Got this today for speaking out for Remain..... This has to stop. pic.twitter.com/HPV8asrZ3w

The account from which the message was sent appears to have been deleted.

In a later tweet, Cooper who has been campaigning for Pro-Remain for Thursday’s EU referendum said that she informed the police and Twitter about the threat, adding that they were “on the case”.

Yes, reported hours ago. Police & @Twitter on case. But this is for all of us. Time to stop the hatred.
