A Labour MP has told of how she was inundated with rape and death threats after voicing criticism of misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate.

Alex Davies-Jones, the MP for Pontypridd in Wales, told the House of Commons she endured abuse via email but also directly to her parliamentary office after calling out Tate’s “horrendous abuse and behaviour” online.

Tate, a former kickboxing world champion who is now a self-avowed “success coach”, is presently under arrest in Romania facing allegations of being part of an organised crime group, human trafficking and rape alongside his brother Tristan.
