Television presenter Rachel Riley has told a UK High Court judge she was subjected to a “concerted attack” two years ago after an aide to then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn described her as “dangerous” and “stupid” in a tweet.

Ms Riley, 35, who appears in Channel 4 show Countdown, told Mr Justice Nicklin that she received an “onslaught of abuse” following Laura Murray’s March 2019 tweet.
