A man has been charged after a threat was allegedly sent to an SNP MP on the same day she was axed from the party’s Westminster frontbench. Joanna Cherry contacted police on Monday over a “vicious threat” to her personal safety after saying she had been sacked in a recent reshuffle. At the time, she tweeted: “Action and inaction have consequences. Tonight I’ve received a vicious threat from a man to my personal safety. “The matter has been reported to Police Scotland and I’m somewhere safe. Thank you for all the lovely messages of support.” Police confirmed on Thursday that a man had been charged in connection with the incident. A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “A 30-year-old man has been charged with a communications offence and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.” Cherry tweeted: “Pleased to advise that policescotland have arrested & charged a man in relation to the threats I received on Monday night. “I’d like to thank them for their swift action. But this is not ok. Other enquiries are ongoing.”
