| MP Soubry |
A man has been arrested after an allegedly threatening Twitter post that called for people to "Jo Cox" an MP.
The 25-year-old man was held after Anna Soubry, the MP for Broxtowe in Nottinghamshire, was the apparent target of an online message.
The message read: "someone jo cox Anna sourby please."
The politician called the Twitter user a "sad cowardly troll", noting the differently spelled surname.
Nottinghamshire Police later confirmed they were investigating the incident.
The suspect was arrested on Saturday at his home in Bethnal Green on suspicion of sending malicious communications.
A police spokesman said he was in custody in an east London police station and has not been charged.
It comes after Jo Cox's murderer, 43-year-old Thomas Mair, was jailed for life.
Mair shot and stabbed the Labour MP for Batley and Spen outside her constituency office in Birstall, West Yorkshire, in June.
Conservative MP Ms Soubry was a Remain supporter in the EU referendum, as was Mrs Cox.
