Disgusting discourse- sending sisterhood @Joanne13Harding. Time for serious action to #DefuseAbuse against women in public life.
And then to follow up a day doing training about how boys and men speak to women - I get an abusive phone call and I am an “ ugly, ginger c***” nice eh. It’s really not ok
Grim. Doesn’t take long to illustrate the point sadly. Thank you @jessphillips for all you do to highlight the need to #DefuseAbuse against women in public life. And to this hater, the only thing brilliant women MPs are “asking for” is civil discourse and personal safety at work.
After the story today about abuse against MPs, just received this email. a) I didn't pick the picture, and it is not of me even talking about this and b)apparently I am asking for it. Thanks for all the lovely emails from lovely people.
Solidarity @charlotte2153. While brilliant women persist, actions needs to be taken to #DefuseAbuse
Solidarity Stephanie. Time to #defuseabuse against women in public life; especially councillors who don’t usually have staff to monitor & report abusive correspondence for them. Shoutout to all the MPs’, MSPs’, MS’s & mayoral staff sharing & shielding the emotional burden of this
Thank you @abenaopp for paying tribute to Labour Women’s Network’s training -including #JoCoxLeadership- during her powerful contribution to the wide-ranging and moving @HouseofCommons debate on #InternationalWomensDay. Also our #KeepTheGoodStuff & #DefuseAbuse campaigns #IWD2022

Sending sisterhood to @RuthSmeeth. Time for action not lip service to #DefuseAbuse on social media.
In the meantime, we’ll done to everyone asserting digital self care as necessary. For tips, see @GlitchUK_.
After 24 hours of nonsense and abuse on this platform I realised I could change my settings (again) and limit the comments. So I have done and will be going forward. And I’d urge everyone who gets abuse to do the same. ❤️ and thanks to those that pushed back against the trolls
Sending sisterhood and solidarity to @AngelaRayner. No-one should be abused for doing their job. End of. #DefuseAbuse

Horrible. Sending love and solidarity @DawnButlerBrent. Women of colour in public life so disproportionately targeted with vile aggression and bigotry #DefuseAbuse
Guess the age, colour and sex of the person who sent me this.
Answer will be posted at the end of the day.
And just for the record Brent is an amazing place to live...
We @LabourWomensNet had a pack agenda with @Keir_Starmer & @AnnelieseDodds to discuss key issues for the @UKLabour agenda and highlight some of our campaigns including #KeepTheGoodStuff #DefuseAbuse #Selections4ThisMillenium & #BabyLeave
Thank you @Keir_Starmer & @AnnelieseDodds for a brilliant meeting with the LWN Executive today. Great to put women’s representation, visibility & safety high up @UKLabour’s agenda, & highlight our #KeepTheGoodStuff, #Selections4ThisMillenium #BabyLeave & #DefuseAbuse campaigns 🌹
Awful- solidarity to the very resilient @TulipSiddiq always. Tough action is needed towards digital safeguards with teeth so iron resilience is not an essential requirement for women -especially women of colour- in public life #DefuseAbuse
#16Days, Day 8:
@TulipSiddiq estimates that she receives an abusive message every day on social media, and a violent threat — such as that she will be raped, murdered or her whole family “butchered” — every three weeks.

Every time we tweet about Dame @margarethodge we have to block people & report abuse too. Every. Time. The volume as well as the character of it, much of which which seems to clearly linked to the QAnon movement, is utterly unacceptable. #DefuseAbuse is not enough. Make it stop🛑
Dame Margaret Hodge tells @adamboultonSKY that she received 90,000 abusive social media mentions in a TWO MONTH period and the experience has since made her think very carefully about tweeting anything at all. That's around 1,500 per day.
'The whole of our public life has become more toxic, more divided and more likely to tip over into abuse and violence.'
Former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith says the threat of danger for elected officials is 'dangerous for our democracy'.
Sending sisterhood and solidarity to the brilliant @TulipSiddiq. Absolutely no place for this threatening behaviour in politics or public life #DefuseAbuse #MakeWomenSafe https://t.co/kSjudhuibz

Few women have faced more abuse than Jewish women in public life. Thank you @margarethodge for your endless resilience and for supporting LWN’s campaign to #DefuseAbuse, #BeKind and see an online harms bill with real powers #Lab21
Thank you to Shadow Secretary of State for Women & Equalities @AnnelieseDodds for supporting our campaign to #DefuseAbuse especially against women in public life #Lab21🌹
It’s time to #DefuseAbuse against women in public life. You can have different views and still #BeKind #Lab21 🌹
Great to see our friends @LabourWomensNet, who are doing brilliant work on tackling sexual harassment & online abuse against women in politics, & campaigning to keep hybrid working. #KeepTheGoodStuff
