The women – who have not been named but include both Conservative and Labour members of parliament – have had their security upgraded as MPs are said to be “petrified” at the abuse they are facing.

Firstly, it’s not just Labour, secondly, I’d call that a “hint” at being threatened.

Don’t downplay abuse that’s been assessed as a risk to life, then play the tactician about “generic risk assessment” it makes you seem callow.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
