  • A senior Labour MP was targeted by a barrage of racist and sexist online abuse from supporters of Elon Musk after demanding that the billionaire give evidence to Parliament.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the ordeal of Labour MP Florence Eshalomi, who has been subjected to a barrage of racist and misogynistic abuse following her appointment as the shadow minister for democracy. Eshalomi, who is of Nigerian descent, has faced hateful messages and threats, which she attributes to her race and gender. Despite the vitriol, she remains committed to her role, emphasizing the importance of representation and resilience in politics.
