THE “real-life” Baby Reindeer stalker bombarded Sir Keir Starmer with vile taunts in a chilling email spree. Fiona Harvey sent the Labour leader a staggering 276 messages in less than eight months, including vicious attacks on him and his family. The woman who inspired Martha in the Netflix hit gloated over the deaths of two of his relatives and used a disabled slur to abuse his wife.
Fiona Harvey told the Labour leader he was in a “non job”, was a “stupid little boy” and a “useless barrister”. She warned Sir Keir she would target him with complaints to standards watchdogs, telling him: “Your life won’t be worth living.” The Sun has seen 276 emails sent over eight months by Harvey to his MP email address.
Like those seen in the show, all are in a trademark style, littered with punctuations and spelling mistakes, with few full stops and a line space between each sentence. All were signed off “Sent from my iPhone” — echoing Martha, who it turns out in the show doesn’t have an iPhone. It’s understood the Met Police have been made aware of Harvey’s messages but were last night unable to provide further detail.
The Netflix hit about comedian Richard Gadd ’s character Donny being stalked by “ Martha Scott ” led to web sleuths identifying Harvey as the inspiration for her. Harvey, 58, hails from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire , but has lived in London for years. She has denied stalking and has said she will sue after episodes began with a message saying.
