A man who posted a death threat to a British lawmaker was on Friday jailed for a year, the public prosecutor announced, as it published a safety guide for general election candidates.

Alden Bryce Barlow was convicted in Sheffield, northern England, after admitting to sending the letter to Anna Soubry, which read “Cox was the first, you are the next”.The letter, sent to Soubry’s constituency office in Nottingham, central England, also described Soubry, who has fought to overturn Brexit, as “treacherous” and “worthless”.

“Abuse or intimidation of candidates in elections has serious implications for individuals and for our democracy,” said National Police Chiefs Council chairman Martin Hewitt. Candidates are advised to “keep records of any intimidating behaviour or abuse” and conduct an “online personal health check” to ensure sensitive personal information is not widely available.
