Andrew Cooper

A fashion photographer was harassed by a YouTuber for three years, who threatened to recruit hitmen and sent her photographs of knives, but she was left wondering why he wasn't released them sooner. Since being approached under the guise of an investment opportunity, Lucy Brown (pictured left) and her partner Sascha Bailey began receiving unwanted emails from far-right internet star Andrew Cooper (pictured right) in 2020. Before she knew it, he had offered her a deal to sign that she didn't understand, and had her come to his house to work during lockout. His 'weird' behaviour shocked her, and she told him she didn't feel well after he wanted her to watch The Secretary, a BDSM documentary about a female employee's relationship. He began a three-year assault on Lucy, her father, and her friend, delivering angry, exploitative rants on YouTube. The 33-year-old, who is the brother of legendary snapper David Bailey, received hundreds of emails from Cooper every day threatening her (inset).

For the first time in the constituency's century-long history, Labour gained Mid Beds, which was vacated this summer by former Cabinet minister Nadine Dorries. Kate Saunders (right) said the Conservative Party routed Tories in Tamworth, smashing the 19,600-vote cushion from the 2019 general election, while Giles Warner (right) said he hoped the result would be a 'wake-up call' for the Tories, while Tory campaigner David Warner (right) said he did not see one.

Sarah Edwards, a newly elected Labour MP, was celebrating a historic win in the Tamworth by-election today, but she could now face a difficult decision. The former union official, who overturned a near 20,000-vote Conservative majority in the Staffordshire seat, claims she lives locally but also owns a home in a leafy suburb 25 miles away. Despite putting the address on her nomination form and notifying voters online that she is based in Tamworth, Ms Edwards only recently started renting out a house.
