An overwhelming majority of women MPs who replied to a 5 live survey say they have received both online and verbal abuse from members of the public. A third say they have considered quitting as a result.

Anne McLaughlin, SNP MP for Glasgow North East, said not getting re-elected would be a 鈥渟ilver lining鈥�, in that she would not have to 鈥減ut up with that sort of abuse again in [her] life鈥�.

She told 麻豆社 Radio 5 live that she 鈥渨orried鈥� other women would be put off a career in politics by the prospect of facing such abuse.
