A former teacher from Gillingham in Kent has been jailed for 20 weeks after emailing Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch threats to shoot her. Kieran Kyle, 43, claimed to be ex-IRA and used racist language in messages sent in May, after her Bloody Sunday video row. He also emailed her husband Hamish. Kyle admitted two counts of sending offensive communications at Westminster Magistrates' Court in September.
