MORE than 3,000 offensive tweets are sent to UK Members of Parliament every day, a BBC investigation into the extent of online abuse has found reports the BBC.
Analysis of three million tweets aimed at MPs over a six-week period found more than 130,000, around one in 20, could be classed as toxic.
MP Jess Phillips says the level of abuse has created an unsustainable culture where politicians are afraid to speak their mind on important issues.
Harlow MP Robert Halfon has faced a great deal of abuse on Twitter.
A man has admitted sending a tweet in which he said he would “love to shoot” an MP in the head.
