Hate faced by MP Mike Freer is attack on democracy, says Downing Street
Briefly

"The [prime minister] was 'extremely saddened' that Mr Freer... feels he is no longer able to serve his local community"," He described the abuse the MP had suffered as 'clearly deeply distressing'."
"I will do whatever I can as Speaker, working with the security, working with the police, working with ministers, to ensure that members are safe, their families are safe, their offices safe. But that is the big challenge at the moment. It really is a threat."
"Politicians want to do the right thing by their constituents... but we have others who all the time are trying to stop people carrying out the job they were elected to do. It is not acceptable."
