Jess Phillips, the MP for Birmingham Yardley, lives in what can only be described as a real-life horror film where the villain sends thousands of death threats like Valentineās Day cards. One memorable night in 2019, she was gifted over 600 rape threatsāmore than some people have emails. The same villainous fan club also staged a forced office visit and sent holiday postcards featuring her murdered friend, Jo Cox, with charming notes saying 'I will have you dealt with.' Phillips describes her coping skills as guilt-ridden anxiety for her family and staff, proving that being an MP isnāt just politics, itās a full-contact sport with psychopaths.
