Rachel Riley has said she worried her baby had stopped moving in the womb because of the stress antisemitic trolling caused her.

Ms Riley, who is Jewish, has been a vocal critic of Labour's handling of the antisemitism crisis on Twitter, and has become the target for abuse.

Speaking to the Sun, she said: “I found out I was pregnant in April and that was around the time of the 'Boycott Rachel Riley' campaign.

“Mentally, I am strong. Mentally, I can cope. I am up for this fight. It is imperative that we win.”
