Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott has said she is “sick” of so-called “gotcha journalism” after once again tripping up over policing figures during an interview with ITV News.

Abbott was seen to consult an aide off camera while stumbling over her response to a question about the cost of Labour’s policy to recruit an extra 10,000 police officers. See video below.

The MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington said she had received further “abuse” and “death threats” as a result of the interview.
