A Liverpool Conservative party boss said a brick was thrown through her window while her one-year-old baby slept inside.

Deputy chairman of Merseyside Conservatives Jade Marsden, who stood for election in Cressington in last week’s local elections, says one of the upstairs windows of her home was smashed at around 7.30pm on Sunday.

She said: “We had not long put the baby to bed when it happened.

“Luckily [the baby] is okay, she just got a fright, but it’s terrifying to think this can happen while you’re just sitting in your own home.”

After tweeting Liverpool Labour regarding the incident, Jade came under fire from some people, who said she was suggesting a member of the party was behind the incident.

However, she explained: “I tweeted Labour to make them aware. The Lib Dems already know because I’ve been told it also happened to one of their Liverpool councillors on Friday.

“I’ve no idea who did it, it could have been anyone.”

It’s the second time Jade has been the victim of crime in less than twelve months.

In the run-up to the 2017 General Election, for which Jade was parliamentary candidate for Sefton Central, two posters with her face on were defaced in Formby.

One sign had its slogan covered in paint and replaced by ‘Vote Labour’. On the other, Jade’s eyes and one of her teeth had been shaded in.

Jade said she has contacted Merseyside Police over the latest incident and is waiting for officers to visit her.
