Sadiq Khan, Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary, has received death threats after voting in favour of gay marriage Britain's most senior Muslim MP has received death threats after voting in favour of gay marriage. Police have told Sadiq Khan, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, that the threats are credible enough that he should review the security around him and his family following the Commons vote. Officers in his Tooting constituency in London have been put on high alert, and will respond ‘extra-quick’ should an incident be reported at his home. The Metropolitan Police has also advised Mr Khan, 42, that they may put more officers around him if further threats are made.
