A woman has been arrested in connection with alleged threats against Labour MP Naz Shah.

West Yorkshire Police said a 32-year-old woman was arrested on Tuesday evening. “West Yorkshire Police can confirm a 32-year-old woman has been arrested in connection to alleged threats made against MP Naz Shah.

A spokesman said the woman was in custody.

Ms Shah, the MP for Bradford West, was readmitted to the Labour party earlier this month after being suspended in April over anti-Semitic posts on social media.

Earlier this week Ms Shah announced she was looking into the death of one of her constituents amid claims she may have been the victim of a so-called honour killing.

Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, died last week while visiting relatives in northern Punjab and West Yorkshire Police said it was working with the "relevant authorities" to establish the cause of death.
