The MP for a town where a Polish man was killed in a possible hate crime has declared that people who use the Brexit result to pursue their personal racist agendas "literally come from the sewers".

Arkadiusz Jozwik was attacked in Harlow, Essex, on Saturday night and died on Monday from head injuries.

The 40-year-old and another Polish man were set upon outside a row of takeaway shops in what Essex Police believe was an unprovoked attack at around 11.35pm.
