In his post, Johnny Mercer explained that he wasn't sharing it for sympathy but, he said, to show what being involved in politics is like at the moment.

Labour MP for Plymouth Sutton & Devonport Luke Pollard called the incident "unacceptable and vile," he added, "hope your family are OK and that the police catch whoever is responsible."
