A man who sent a threatening voicemail message to the Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw has been given a suspended 12-week jail sentence.
37 year old Geoffrey Farquharson of Fore Street admitted the offence, which involved a two-minute rant containing racist and homophobic language.
The court heard he had mental health issues and had lost his temper when he made the call in June.
