  1. Mann: Anti-semite threatened to rape wife

    East Midlands Today

    An East Midlands MP who chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on anti-Semitism says his wife was threatened with rape because of the stance he's taken on the issue.

    John Mann, who represents Bassetlaw, was speaking in a Commons debate yesterday in which some Labour MPs challenged the leader Jeremy Corbyn to tackle the issue.

    John Mann said his family was targeted after he took part in a protest last month against Labour's handling of anti-semitism.
