A ‘prolific emailer’ who sent Sir Keir Starmer a barrage of messages ‘full of abusive profanities and threats of violence’ has walked free.

Mark Tew, 63, called the Prime Minister a ‘gutless dirty bastard’ in one message, Southwark Crown Court heard.

He also targeted several barristers during his nuisance campaign between March and November 2021.
