I find this very troubling. It goes against everything English democracy stands for.
I've therefore forwarded the tweet to
@EssexPoliceUK and written to their Chief Constable, Rachel Nolan, to make sure she's aware.
Poor Sam must have been too shocked to remember to do it.
๐จBREAKING: A Conservative voter threatened to SHOOT me at a polling station yesterday, in Billericay East.
A fellow Reform UK Councillor and I were forced to leave Billericay, and abandon our polling day operation, after threats to kill us were made by who I can only describe as an absolute lunatic.
I will not be bullied out of public life, let me make myself very clear on that. Challenge my politics all you like but threaten me with a gun, and you cross a line that cannot be ignored.
