'Box of poo' left outside Tory MP's office sparking police investigation

A box of faeces was left outside a Tory MP's constituency office, sparking an investigation by police. Conservative MP Siobhan Baillie condemned the 'nastiness' faced by MPs after the box, which was reportedly accompanied by a derogatory note, was left outside her office in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

Ms Baillie was elected as the first female to represent Stroud in the December 2019 election. The white carton, which had her name scrawled on the top, was left on the doorstep on November 2, with Ms Baillie saying police were called "immediately".

Writing on her Facebook page on November 3, the MP said: "Police officers were called immediately after a carton of excrement was left on the doorstep of my constituency office yesterday. I thank our local police for taking this matter seriously and investigating, including looking at CCTV.
