Jess Phillips pile on on Twitter

It seems to have gone now, but I saw this morning on Twitter Jess Phillips MP, saying that the five gc questions to candidates seemed reasonable, there were some supportive tweets, and then there was a huge pile on from a lot of people saying TWAW and a certain amount of abuse.

Anyone know what happened here?

She's my friend's MP. She sent a reply about not being able to attend the WPUK Westminster meeting (visiting Amnesty Hmm)

She is a supporter of 'No Outsiders' though - which endorses transgender ideology.

She's ablist apparently because she's voiced concern about girls being brought over the UK to marry (and basically act as carers for) disabled men. Hmm

All of which abuse coincides entirely coincidentally with Jess being widely mentioned as potential leadership material and a woman of substance.

Probably not inducing any reactions from MRAs or angry entitled misogynistic males. No. Not at all.

It's a shame. I'm not GC myself but Jess Phillips has done so much for women in her career.

It was definitely her tweeting (good!) in support of the five candidate questions that FPFW or AWP (?) put out.
I read her response and thought it was really encouraging, tbh given her background I wasn't surprised, but then it was wall to wall "TWAW" comments, with various added abuse of Jess.

I saw this yesterday. I think she had supported a WPUK tweet by saying the request for consideration seemed reasonable, followed by the entirely predictable hoards of shrieking TRAs hurling abuse.

As far as I can tell, following Jess Phillips being suggested as a leadership candidate, TRAs have been going through her comments, on twitter and otherwise, to find evidence of "transphobia", for example this:

twitter.com/jessphillips/status/931093574011191296

It seems to be a standard "are you now or have you ever been ..." witch hunt. Including going after those who are guilty by association:

Unless something else has also gone on.

Can't see anything specific, but there are hundreds of tweets from TRAs and other assorted misogynists frantically claiming that she is a t**f and a racist and that she curdled their milk.

Is it still up, because I can't see it now?

That’s good isn’t it? Alerts her still further to the absolute intolerance of women’s views in this ideology. I don’t think she’ll come out as GC completely - but she’ll be alerted.
