Hillary Clinton warns of path to ‘fascism’ after MPs stand down
Former US secretary of state concerned that female MPs cited online threats
Online threats which intimidate people into standing down as MPs are “the path to authoritarianism [and] fascism”, Hillary Clinton has said.
Speaking to an audience in London, Clinton said she took “very seriously” the fact that significant numbers of female MPs had opted not to run again for parliament in the coming election, in many cases citing online intimidation and threats against their safety.
