Jonathan Ashworth has revealed he was forced to seek refuge in a vicarage after being chased down the street during the General Election campaign.
Speaking in his first interview since losing his seat, Mr Ashworth told Andrew Marr he had “never known a campaign of such vitriol, such bullying, such intimidation".
He said during the General Election campaign he was "chased down the street" and "shouted at and screamed at for 40, 45 minutes".
He said he "worried about [his] family and children", sharing that he was "campaigning with [his] 10-year-old because she wanted to help daddy on election day and one of these loud mouths shouted at me that I was genocide Jon, and everybody despised me".

Nice gaslighting from Ashworth, perhaps he may also reflect on his comments concerning immigrants from Bangladesh a largely Muslim country, he is not a victime. If your going to campaign in person if he wasn't aware of the questions he may face and have answers ready for anyone being reasonable, and if he wasn't attending hustings were else could they ask him these questions? I saw some of the video of the sorta thing he's talking about, I saw no evidence of a threat of violence just a snivelling worm running away fro answering questions. In the video I saw his child was not with him.

Surely I don't have to explain to you why it is in everyone's interests to secure peace in The Levant?

Far-left candidates in the last election were not standing against the record of Labour MPs, they were standing to sabotage Labour MPs. Given it will make zero difference in Gaza, the only victims here are the voters whose needs and concerns will be trashed by the independent MPs who only got elected for their own selfish reasons and not for the constituency they stood for.

I'm afraid this is what happens when you completely ignore mass protests. Worse still, label them as hate marches. If you don't want the criticism, make yourself heard and stand up against the unwavering support Israel has from our uniparty. I'm afraid I have no sympathy. The innocent children of Gaza have all my sympathy. None spare for the MPs that are allowing our country to support Israel blindly
