MP apologises after controversial posts resurface
Mansfield's MP says he has received 'hundreds of death threats' as he apologised for controversial comments made on a personal blog five years ago.
Ben Bradley, who was promoted to Conservative Party vice-chairman for youth in the recent Cabinet reshuffle, wrote in support of the benefits cap and said people on welfare should stop having children if they could not afford them – something he has now called “a cock-up”.
