An MP says she has received “threats of death and violence” over a video posted by a neighbouring MP, which she labelled “misleading” and “irresponsible”.
Anna Dixon has accused her constituency neighbour of having “personally inflamed hatred against me” in a video he posted on Facebook, regarding her position on calls for local and national inquiries into grooming gangs.
The Labour MP for Shipley, who was first elected last year, said Robbie Moore, a Conservative, had demonstrated “irresponsible behaviour” by posting “blatant misinformation about a colleague”.
In a lengthy message on social media, Ms Dixon wrote: “I want local residents to be aware that I have received threats of death and violence directly posted in response to a misleading video recently shared by the MP for Keighley and Ilkley, Robbie Moore.
“These have been reported to the police, and an investigation is currently underway.
“Other responses to his post have subjected me to misogynistic abuse and made deeply offensive claims against me – he has chosen to let these remain public in the comments section on his social media.”
What does the video say?
Mr Moore first posted the video on social media on Wednesday, 20 August.
Above the video, he wrote: “Wow. Shipley’s Labour MP Anna Dixon is ‘misleading public’ [sic] on grooming gangs inquiry.
“Anna is telling constituents she voted against an inquiry because it was a ‘political stunt’. But a closer look at the facts shows Anna has been dismissing calls for an inquiry since day one… Your voice – or just another voice protecting Bradford’s Labour Party?”
