Jenny Palmer '˜vulnerable' after receiving online threats
The former DUP member who made the switch to the UUP in 2015 along with her husband John, lost her seat in Lagan Valley last week.
Last night she was labelled a “Lundy” and told in no uncertain terms to leave Culcavy in a series of threats from a person posting on social media as Paul Hood.

She was inundated with messages of support on her Facebook page and Twitter account following the threatening messages.
Mrs Palmer quit the DUP after claiming she had been bullied and joined the Ulster Unionists along with her husband in 2015.
