A man arrested for making threats towards Labour MP Yvette Cooper has been given a conditional caution.

The 59-year-old from Leeds, West Yorks, was arrested in Ms Cooper’s constituency Castleford on February 1.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said he was held ‘as a result of information received in relation to alleged threats against a serving MP’.

The force confirmed the man was bailed and that today (Tues) he accepted a conditional caution.

The spokesman refused to disclose the exact nature of the threat.

Ms Cooper, the MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, received a threat against the lives of her children and grandchildren in 2016, shortly after the murder of Jo Cox.

A tweet from a constituent angry at receiving Remain literature said: “Please stop or I will kill your kids and grandkids.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
