A man has been arrested after a feminist campaigner was deluged on Twitter with abuse and threats of rape, police have confirmed.

The 21-year-old was detained earlier in the Manchester area on suspicion of harassment offences.

Caroline Criado-Perez faced abuse after successfully campaigning for a woman's face to appear on UK banknotes.

Labour has complained to Twitter about what it says was an "inadequate response" to the abuse.
