Labour MP receives death threats' after Tory MP posts video on grooming gangs inquiry
Briefly

Anna Dixon, MP for Shipley, says she has received death threats and misogynistic online abuse after a video was shared by Conservative MP Robbie Moore about her position on a national grooming-gangs inquiry. Police have been notified and an investigation is under way. Moore posted a video accusing Dixon of misleading the public and dismissing calls for an inquiry. Dixon says she voted against a specific Tory proposal because it included an amendment to the children's wellbeing and schools bill and denies opposing a Bradford district focus as part of any inquiry. Moore condemned threats but defended raising concerns about her stance.
