Twitter troll Peter Nunn has been jailed for 18 weeks after bombarding Labour MP Stella Creasy with abusive messages.

The 33-year-old was handed the jail term at City of London Magistrates' Court for the hate campaign, which came after the Walthamstow MP backed a campaign to put Jane Austen on the £10 note.

Nunn retweeted "menacing" posts threatening to rape Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy, and branded her a "witch".

He began last summer after the Labour politician backed a high-profile bid launched by feminist Caroline Criado-Perez to keep a woman on a British banknote.

District Judge Elizabeth Roscoe found him guilty of sending indecent, obscene or menacing messages following a trial at City of London Magistrates' Court earlier this month and jailed him today.

She also imposed a restraining order banning him from any contact with either woman.
