"Toxic” tweets were defined as one which is"rude, disrespectful or unreasonable" and"likely to make someone leave a conversation".Richard Burgon MP, who represents Leeds East, called for an end to 'appalling' messages sent to him and fellow MPs "Some people get very angry when I call for a wealth tax on the super rich and when I support rail workers striking for a fair pay.
He added:"But I think it’s very important that we consider the amount of racist abuse levelled at MPs. For example, my colleague Diane Abbott is one of the MPs to receive a huge amount of racist and sexist abuse online.Mr Burgon also emphasised that he often receives supportive messages from locals, including one 96-year-old woman who got in touch “to say she was concerned at some of the abuse directed my way”.
