No that's general abuse. I'm talking about political pressure. The type that Diane Abbot got that apparently was sexist.
If you look at what I said earlier, I admitted racism/sexism exists. The point was whether Abbot's abuse was a result of her race/gender or her words/actions. the fact that she gets so much more abuse even than other BAME MPs shows it can't just be about race/gender.

No, the point was whether that criticism is *stronger* than what another politician would face. And it's true, Hammond was in the exact same situation, messed up numbers, no one even remembers his gaffe. His gaffe hasn't become a "meme" that "he can't count".
