5:22 pm
members of the u.k. parliament say they are subject to threats and intimidation from opponents and even some of their constituents as people are made at odds over the future direction of the country reports of abuse suffered by m.p.'s and other elected officials particularly women have risen dramatically since the 2016 breck's at referendum a parliamentary report says the problem is now commonplace and undermines politicians upwards to represent the people on wednesday culture secretary nikki morgan declared she will not seek reelection after suffering abuse and that her and her family a day earlier liberal democrat m.p. heidi allen announced she will stand down and she is exhausted by the personal abuse she has suffered on line and in the street from all of this we're joined from romsey hampshire by cowal i know she's a conservative member of parliament shaista aziz is a labor party councillor for oxford city council she is also code vice chair of the
5:23 pm
fabian women's network she joins us from manchester can lead better. is ambassador at the joe cox foundation an organization working with communities to build a more tolerant society she is near the town of keaton in west yorkshire hello ladies good to have you i wish it was over a better conversation that we're about to have i have to show you or this tweet i am sure in your various different work you have seen is just phillips is an m p she says here this is so chilling i'm not scared of an election i am scared i might be hurt or killed and to show you what jess describes herself as a labor m.p. for birmingham yardley and then just down here saudade unseemly a grotesque according to a little man on the internet that is alluding to some of the behavior that is happening on social around politicians came you happen to know that this isn't just online harassment for jess things have actually happened offline as well can you
5:24 pm
tell us a little bit more what do you know. yeah absolutely i mean you know to start with the only reason that i'm doing this this evening is because i know to my very day a personal cost where this level of abuse and intimidation can lead cox was the british politician who was murdered on the street in june 26th just prior to the referendum and joan was my sister and i live and i feel the pain of that day every single day of my life and there was a very brief period of time after joe was killed where people said a lot of the right things about how we had to do things differently and we should be more kinder and more compassionate in our politics and that lasted for a very short period of time within weeks of joe been killed things descended into the toxic kind of debate that we see now and it's definitely got worse in the 3 and a half years since that time so i know jess phillips i know i know lots of m.p.'s i've got to know lots of them some of who knew joe and some of whom didn't and the
5:25 pm
level of abuse and intimidation they are facing at the moment is unprecedented and very very worrying and it's very difficult and i'm aware that it's difficult for me to be objective and i am in danger of being accused of scamming going but for these women in particular when they're but men as well this is their reality and they are very very scared about their safety can we thank you for sharing reliving that for us on line so many people say what it is that you're referencing you talked about a toxic debate getting worse people online say part of that is because the rise of social media and the fact that so much of that debate is happening online so i want to direct all of your attention to this article the conversation the headline the people who abuse impedes online and one of the writers of that piece sent us a video comment in it he talks about the kind of people that take to the web take to twitter to spew this abuse this is liam mclaughlin is a researcher at the university of south or to manchester and here's what he says.
5:26 pm
so what do we know about people who abuse and he's online firstly we know that they don't wake up in the morning and think they're going to abuse an m.p.'s what they do is quite reactionary in nature they'll see a tweet on their feet and respond to that or the see something in the news or they'll see how to constipate interest in a scene the most abuse comes in the form to reply to an m.p.'s tweet or it spikes massively whenever bret's it's being debated in the house of commons. caroline i'll give ballin to you because you told our producers ahead of the show that you have your notifications for your social accounts turned off why is that. so that was a friend of mine a colleague did that for me i was the immigration minister for 18 months and the level of abuse i was getting online well so horrific and i gave my phone to a friend in the house of commons and she just filled with it for about 3 minutes
5:27 pm
until they go notifications gone these people are not going to trouble you anymore and that is one strategy to deal with it simply turn off the notifications that look and i have some really brilliant dedicated staff who will always alert me and more importantly the police to when there is a direct threat but i also have an amazing 21 year old daughter who sometimes she'll send me a text message in the dead of night that just says i love you mommy and in her world that is code for the for the she knows i'm taking the lead with the use online and she just wants me to know that there are good people out there to my kind that there are people who say well this is on line say what you think you tend of unification you don't have the rebate but this isn't just the peace and harassment that is happening online can you never see a little glimpse of your offline life as well you know so i think that's a really important point to make it's easier to ignore it when it's online and i take the view it's your experts this is sad people alone in their bedrooms late at night to send online abuse and they're quite easy to ignore when somebody walks
5:28 pm
up to you in the marketplace or rumsey which is the beautiful market town in hampshire and says you're a traitor who deserves to be shot that enters the real world that leaves you feeling afraid and it's great to be with kim the seedling because although i didn't know joe well i knew that joe cox was a kind person a person who whenever she reached out to me in the house of commons if i'd made a speech the. she thought was ok she i can remember her due to me she reached out to touch my whole staircase and separates the each and you know that was for somebody who i really didn't know to work and that sadly didn't have a chance to get nowhere and you suddenly hear a gentleman that melted say to you in your own constituency the town you grew up in you deserve to be shot and you think it's 3 years since a colleague of mine was shot. what sort of level of political discourse do we now
5:29 pm
have that just because i might disagree with that man on bret's that it thinks i need to be killed late is that this this keeps occurring to me as i'm watching the sort of things that you're going for in your experience and what is going on in the u.k. that somebody would come up and say that in the straight. i think what's going on is that i respectfully cited faces of misfortune the is being normalized. normalized by people who need ships who are all using very toxic racist language and this should be normal and. i honestly was lucky enough to. keep those i went to show for 5 years and she was one of the kindest most polite to subdue the and women other than about the pressure to her friends and you know what happened to her should have been the moment when people actually pulled back a stop to thinking and doing but i'm not. and if we just look at you know the
5:30 pm
united states of america when you've got a man who is being very present and who has the type of access to such the documentary towards women and also he would u.k. as a visible muslim woman the fact that my prime minister that amount of good luck to be the prime minister u.k. by all to be the fifty's the talk of language teaching all minority women is just not acceptable and i think if you take a cue from that but i also think the point that you make our lungs up the tree when you've got people i did god to keep old. sprouting hate. it may just be me and my hope people are living it may just seem like it was actually just from a pilot was women and it builds from that and i think often we're told to shrug ships off and to kind of just get on with it well i'm sorry which is not i think a lot more not nice to be dug out of people who are going out of their way to spread hey fred edition from ations and they ought to be talking women are
5:31 pm
specifically to targeting minority women i met during. one of the well i would also want to also add to that i think in terms of of politicians and what politicians can do to improve things you know what should i send how answered. about joe is really heartwarming to hear and they're absolutely right you couldn't meet a kind of person that doesn't mean that it was afraid of little bush passionate debate and would certainly let you know what our opinions were on things but she always did it in a polite and respectful manner and i think this is where politicians have to step up and understand that they also have a very important role to play in terms of how they behave and how they speak to each other and it's fair to say in the past few weeks we've seen some pretty poor behavior from some politicians and again for me this is across the political spectrum and it's across the bridge that divide so i think it's really important to not just look at people who are who are giving a politician time that is also equally wrong but politicians have to think about
5:32 pm
their role in this as indeed do the media and journalists and all the people in how they report things because i think the only way things will change is if we take this holistic approach and we all think about our responsibility because i understand the anger and frustration that people feel i am extremely angry about what's happened to my family but i am not giving into the anger i am channeling the anger and doing something positive to create a positive legacy for joe in terms of bringing people together we all have to change if anything will change carolyn i want to direct something at you because i'm so glad that kim just made the point she made because there are people in our audience making that it exact point right now so this is dave and i'd like to get your thoughts on a few people's thoughts that run along the same line dave says while it is totally unacceptable it's because the m.p.'s are ignoring people's wishes and breaking promises another person on twitter barry reed says citizens have suffered at the hands of egos of politicians for hundreds of years well paid and apt why wouldn't
5:33 pm
the population finally be tired and angry at the status quo and one more i'll share from you tube someone watching live over there writes in to say that he believes this there's cause for this because are we not allowed to be angry with m.p.'s. it's room over on you tube what would you say to people with that perspective so i think it's perfectly legitimate to be angry i think it's perfectly ok to have we're past discussions and debates about what is wrong with bret's it why you haven't managed to deliver it after all of these years but i think we have to make our political discourse of a much higher caliber i think we have to play the ball not the man or woman and i think we have to make sure that we are careful about the language we use that's critically important and people have heard me in the house of commons calling out colleagues that have used careless language that have nor thought about the impact of the words they using and what might seem ok to say traitor in one breath to
5:34 pm
pretend that people have somehow betrayed the population actually the 650 members of parliament in the house of commons each one of whom is trying their best to do the best for their own constituents of course we don't all agree you know that's the beauty of democracy they have to agree but i think it's really wrong to say that we're deliberately trying to frustrate the will of the people with in ect actually some of the people that you will meet in the house of commons in the most brilliant intelligent caring hardworking individuals and to try and portray all of us tar us all with one brush is just very wrong and i think them came you mention the media and you are a lot of these cues are being taken from the extreme language should be news but i think to lead when you flash the word trade across the front page of a leading newspaper.
