A Greater Manchester MP has described on social media how his home was attacked with a sledgehammer
Andrew Western was re-elected as the MP for Stretford and Urmston on Thursday but barely two days later his home was targeted
The 39 year old used X as the platform to tell what happened
“Last night there was an incident at my home that is being investigated by police as part of Operation Bridger. I am absolutely fine and no one was hurt but the toxicity in our politics at present must be drawn out.”
“The harassment, intimidation and abuse of politicians is not ok and is not normal. That said it is becoming an ever more regular occurrence. I am proud to represent the people of Stretford and Urmston and I will not be cowed as I seek to serve them to the best of my ability.”
The MP added
I want to thank GMP for an excellent response and say that these idiots do not speak for our community and I will do all I can to ensure they never do.
