Iain Duncan Smith "pointed the finger" at Momentum for the "nastiest, foulest campaign" that he's ever seen.
Iain Dale asked Iain Duncan Smith about his campaign in Chingford and Woodford Green.
He faced fierce competition from Labour's Faiza Shaheen.
IDS said: "I think this was the nastiest, foulest campaign that I've ever seen fought in my 27 years in Parliament.
"We had death threats, we had threats of violence, I had women, female workers chased down the street by carloads of Labour badge-wearing young men, screaming that they're going to smash their face and deal with them.
"We had graffiti all over our office, we had a dead rat dismembered rat that came through the mail, which obviously they were hoping somebody would open.
The police had to be called in. We had all this vile abuse on on the social media, which was threats of burning the building down, sorting people out, worse to come. I mean, it was astonishing, actually."
