The women – who have not been named but include both Conservative and Labour members of parliament – have had their security upgraded as MPs are said to be “petrified” at the abuse they are facing.

Firstly, it’s not just Labour, secondly, I’d call that a “hint” at being threatened.

Don’t downplay abuse that’s been assessed as a risk to life, then play the tactician about “generic risk assessment” it makes you seem callow.
