Police said the social media giant had not disclosed details of the account that sent the tweet.

David Lammy said the Met's investigation into the tweet was dropped because "Twitter refused to assist"

An MP has asked Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey to "explain himself" after a police inquiry into a "racist death threat" was halted when the social media giant did not co-operate. The Metropolitan Police said they had been unable to get details from Twitter of the account which sent the tweet to Tottenham MP David Lammy.Twitter said it was now co-operating with the police inquiry.'Push race hate'

A spokesman said: "All lines of inquiry were explored as far as possible, however, due to the owner of the suspected social media account living outside the UK and the fact we were unable to obtain the subscription details of the individual from Twitter, we were unable to continue the investigation."He tweeted: "Please explain why you are shielding vile racists who make death threats on your platform? #BlackLivesMatter.

He should ignore it.

How does he get voted in as an MP? Always wondered on that one.....

This guy is a vile man who has been quick enough to threaten on Twitter himself. Are you going to ask Twitter to ban yourself also Lammy? Somehow I don’t think you will..

With his past comments he sld just stay low & reflect on affect words can hv & ask himself a few questions.

Keep on stirring the pot bbc

He needs to leave Twitter. It will be better without him and he can feel snuggly safe in his craphole constituency of Tottenham.

No one deserves death threats, DavidLammy but did you show the metpoliceuk the threatening tweet you put out?. What did Keir_Starmer& labour UKLabourhave to say about YOUR threatening Tweet👇🏽

Twitter is useless at picking up covid fake news and at getting rid of anti covid troll accounts too. Can twitter do anything right? No
