Police asked to probe threat of violence against SNP MP Alyn Smith

POLICE Scotland has been asked to investigate a threat of physical violence made against the SNP's Alyn Smith.
The MP for Stirling referred an email sent to him on Monday night as a row exploded over the sacking of his colleague Joanna Cherry from her role as home affairs and justice spokeswoman at Westminster.
Speaking to The National this afternoon, Smith said he had decided to go public on the threat as he believed people should be aware of abuse being directed to politicians.
"On Monday evening, my staff received a threatening email which was concerning and to merit forwarding to the police, which we did on Monday evening," he said.
