The General Election was “particularly difficult for quite a number of colleagues”, Commons Leader Lucy Powell has said, as she expressed concerns about the “personalisation of targeted abuse”.
Ms Powell, who sits in Sir Keir Starmer’s Cabinet, told the PA news agency she does feel safe as an MP, but is “very conscious of the fact that you’re safe until the one time that you’re not”, as she reflected on what happened to her “dear friend” Jo Cox.
