Voters in MP Mike Freer’s constituency have expressed their fears after he announced his decision to stand down after a “constant string” of death threats, abuse and intimidation.
The justice minister and member for Finchley and Golders Green announced he would not seek re-election this year, with the “final straw” being a suspected arson attack on his constituency office in December. Freer said the onslaught of abuse had “weighed heavily” on him and his family.
