The media amplifies every single minor mistake she makes whilst everyone else can do it unnoticed. Isn’t there a statistic whereby she accounts for a huge % of abuse for MPs, I might be making it up but I’m sure it was something like50%, she should be applauded for carrying on in the face of such hostility, it must be awful.
