Just bumped into an MP in floods of tears and distress about the sheer volume of abuse she's had this week. Hundreds of messages including "you stupid fat bitch." If this is you, then just know that you pollute our politics and make it a misery - that isn't how you get good MPs.
You should condemn what's clearly wrong regardless. The fact that other people suffer is no reason to not empathise with the clear suffering shown in this case. It IS relevant that women are being abused as they are the ones stepping down due to such abuse.

No I shouldn't. I happen to have spent much of yesterday reporting vitriolic tweets sent to Anna Soubry. But I also realise that it's not whataboutery to point out that there are people suffering far worse problems, many of them brought about directly by the actions of MPs.

Well you do you. I very much suspect and hope views like yours are and remain in the minority. Bye.
