MPs and candidates who faced abuse discuss polling station buffer zones and action to tackle social media
‘Constant abuse’: three UK candidates on their election experience
MPs and candidates who faced abuse on the campaign trail have pressed ministers to act over intimidation around polling stations and via social media algorithms that push incendiary material.
Half a dozen MPs and candidates attended a roundtable meeting with Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, Dan Jarvis, the security minister, and Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister, on Wednesday.
