I sympathise with any elected member facing mental health issues related to the stress of Brexit. But those thinking about entering politics should realise it’s stressful and difficult job at times. It’s a massive privilege to be elected but it’s not for everybodyhttps://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1185478984164958208 …

To be fair though, I don't think we've ever seen the toxic comments and threats that have been escalating in the last three years. I don't expect anyone who enters public life believed they would have to deal with all that.

Good point. I think the specific reference in this situation related to an MP who had had enough of colleagues ringing her

That may have been the tip of the iceberg though. Some MPs are getting the vilest threats and having to arrange protection. However, if it's just pressure of colleagues phoning her and being aggressive then she's clearly in the wrong job.

No elected member should have to put up with the abuse and threats.
Het laden lijkt wat langer te duren.
