Flabbergasted and appalled by the bigoted and sectarian abuse Jess Phillips and other would-be candidates have endured during their election campaign, what will be done about the rising sectarianism heading for Westminster?
Make no bones about it, this sectarianism is on the hands of the identitarian left who've enabled and stoked this kind of bigotry under the guise of multiculturalism. Now, that the party of identity politics is governing this land, what will they do to
curtail this sectarianism on British democracy?

Labour workers had been trailed in the streets, she said. One had had her car tyres slashed. A young woman delivering leaflets on her own 'was screamed at by a much older man' who filmed her on his phone.
Ms Phillips had hoped to be joined by the family of slain MP Jo Cox who wanted to campaign with her, she said, but added: 'There is absolutely no way I could have allowed for them to see what was aggressive and violence in our democracy . . . Our country is in desperate need – and our politics is in even greater need of cleaning up.'
Following this week's results, however, many fear that the direction of travel in our democracy is increasingly toxic.

Noting that the pro-Palestine movement was spreading in Muslim communities throughout Britain, he added: 'Our brothers and sisters here in Bastwell have the same concerns as those in Mill Hill, London. We have to stick together.'
Streeting said it had been the ugliest campaign he had ever seen, pointing in particular to faked recordings purporting to be of him that were leaked on social media. In one such forgery – a sign of the dirty tricks to which some have been willing to stoop – 'Streeting' was asked if he cared about innocent Palestinians being killed. His apparent response, certain to appal his Muslim electorate, was: 'No I f***ing don't. Now f*** off you little c***.'
Streeting later said the recordings were so convincing, even a seasoned Tory peer had been taken in by them.
Streeting's opponent, the very vocal Ms Mohamad, told the Guardian how dimly Britain's large Muslim population had viewed Streeting's abstention in the Commons vote on a 'ceasefire' in Gaza, saying: 'My community was angry [at him]. Because a genocide was taking place in front of their eyes, livestreamed and televised.' She added later: 'There is a visceral distaste for Labour.'
