MINISTERS have been urged to do more to tackle misogynist extremism online after it emerged the Plymouth shooter expressed sympathy with the “incel” community. 

Jake Davison has been identified as the gunman who killed three women, two men and a young girl in a six-minute shooting rampage in the Keyham area of Plymouth, Devon, on Thursday evening. 

Mr Davison, who had a firearms licence, then turned the gun on himself. The attack was Britain’s deadliest mass shooting since 2010.
