Tory election candidates were physically assaulted, sent death threats and forced to request police protection during the campaign, a Telegraph investigation today reveals. One MP had to call the police after being told he would be “strung up” in a chilling online message that left staff fearing an attack.

Another was shoved and verbally abused at a social event after an election hustings, with bystanders having to intervene. A third female candidate running for the first time was given a police hotline to call and assigned an officer after repeated threats.
