A man has been jailed for three months for emailing Jess Phillips abusive messages including that she would “burn until her skin is no more”, which the MP said changed her life “immeasurably” and limited her freedom.

Nabil Arif, 36, was sentenced to 12 weeks for the abusive messages, which prosecutors said began with the start of the Israel-Gaza war in October 2023 and continued through to February 2024.
