Online sexism should not be tolerated, says Yvette Cooper

Labour MP backs Reclaim the Internet campaign and compares fight against online abuse to past struggle to ensure domestic violence is taken seriously

Sexist online abuse should become as outdated and unacceptable as making jokes about domestic violence, Labour's Yvette Cooper has said.

The MP, who is backing a campaign called Reclaim the Internet, said institutions, political parties and social media platforms should not tolerate aggressive misogynist behaviour by their members.
