Council Member Faces Death Threat
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
A newly elected Reform UK councillor in Salford, Michael Felse, is facing mounting pressure after receiving a chilling death threat on Facebook — complete with a noose image — sparking a police investigation. Living with PTSD, Felse says the constant anxiety and fear are making it hard to do his job, even prompting him to withhold his contact info. Despite claims from a Labour page that he’s skipping council meetings, Felse has shared his attendance records, proving he’s been present at every scheduled session. The council confirms the threat is under investigation and has conducted a safety risk assessment, emphasizing the well-being of its officials. With police involvement, the council is staying quiet on specifics — but this episode underscores how volatile local politics can become, and how vital it is to protect those serving their communities.
