A woman who threatened to kill a shadow cabinet member on the Tube is behind bars.

Nura Mohamed, 39, terrorised Labour MP Dawn Butler, 49, on a packed rush hour train near Baker Street on the Jubilee Line on 6 December last year.

Giles Morrison, prosecuting, said Mohamed approached The MP for Brent Central and shadow equalities minister and told her: 'Dawn Butler let's talk about this. Dawn Butler you f * g b *h, you f*** g slag. Why haven't you helped my daughters.

'She followed the MP and called her a b***h again and then she leaned into the MP and said:

'Are we going to talk about this or am I going to have to kill somebody?'

'Ms Butler said: "Do you think that is a wise thing to say?" to which the defendant said: "I don't care, I will kill you anyway".'

Mohamed faces sentence at the Old Bailey after she admitted threatening behaviour and a series of other offences including common assault, assaulting a constable, being drunk and disorderly, damaging property.

Mrs Justice McGowan ordered a pre-sentence report and indicated she may impose a non-custodial sentence.

Mohamed, of Stephenson House, Fulham, was remanded into custody at HMP Bronzefield ahead of sentence on October 17.

Ms Butler was vehement in her opposition to the Prime Minister's decision to prorogue Parliament ahead of the Halloween Brexit deadline and tweeted last week:

'No matter how you voted. Boris can not be allowed to close parliament.

'I along with my colleagues will occupy parliament. Boris only cares about Boris.

'@UKLabour care about the country and our democracy. Why is he scared of Parliament, General Election and Peoples Vote?'
