Boris Johnson’s chief adviser Dominic Cummings has told a Labour MP who complained about death threats that he should vote for a Brexit deal.

We’re not weak, but when you have constant abuse every single day of your life … it’s bound to have an impact on what you do"

Paula Sherriff accused the PM of fuelling threats with the language of "betrayal" in an emotional plea. But in shocking scenes, Mr Johnson shrugged: "I've never heard such humbug in all my life".
