Abby Tomlinson, the Labour activist credited with creating the hashtag cult #Milifandom during the general election campaign, is being mercilessly trolled on Twitter apparently just for having an opinion.
In recent days, Abby has declared her preference in the Labour Party leadership race prompting especially cruel comments from people on social media.
Many of these comments make reference to Abby’s age, with people apparently not being able to cope with a 17-year-old with a political viewpoint.
