Beaconsfield MP Joy Morrissey has named and shamed someone who called her a "disgusting woman" and an "American fascist" in an email.

Mrs Morrissey, who has been Beaconsfield's Tory MP since the December 2019 General Election, shared a screenshot of a nasty email she received on Twitter on Friday night.

The email read: "You are a disgrace to the human race and full of right wing American filth.

"A lying corrupt American fascist. Leave our country asap. You are a disgusting woman."

The MP shared the email to her 15,000 followers, adding: "Charming. Tim obviously has a real soft spot for immigrants and women. Such a way with words."

The American-born MP, who has dual American-British citizenship, was offered words of support by fellow Conservative, Cllr Mimi Harker.

She said: "Yuk! What a charmer! From one who has had that sort of abuse almost every day verbally sometimes but mostly through behaviour and attitude, ignore it!

"Smile. Chin up. Carry on with dignity and watch them squirm as you serenely succeed, which you already have!"
