Tory MP hits out at ‘bullies’ who posted poo through her letterbox

A Conservative MP has hit out at “bullies” who posted “excrement” through the letterbox of her constituency office.

Katherine Fletcher, who is standing for re-election in South Ribble, said she would not be deterred from campaigning following the incident.

In a video message, posted on X on Thursday (30 May), Ms Fletcher said: “Today the police are at my office because somebody has put excrement through the letterbox.

"One of my volunteers had to find that this morning.

"Now, I understand that women get more than their fair share in political environments, but this attempt to bully me will not work because it is not the decent or right thing to do."
