Yet she herself asked an entire nation to email their MPs. Nice very nice. These people did not ask to be contacted and never to this scale. If her inbox is on fire it's because people need to contact her. No one is encouraging people to talk to her. She's a real twit at times, honestly.

And yet her agent had to contact her via twitter

But it is their job and many of those in our current government are a bit shit.

She'll struggle to pick eight songs. She could only narrow down her favourite Counting Crows song to the top 29.

Regardless of what their job is or how good they are at their job the do not need thousands of people emailing and tweeting them to all hours. These people have families and lives. They should not be hounded to this scale. It's not fair.

Nobodies likes to be contacted for work outside working hours yet these MPs were and in droves.

I don't like any politicans in the current parliament but no one needs this level of directed "harassment" especially when they haven't done anything to cause it. For all in tense purposes they were minding their own and she got a maverick idea.

Congratulations @Ladderedtights - oooh those little feet

Just waiting for GMB or BBC Breakfast to try and get her on air to discuss her amazing achievement of getting a hashtag trending from the comfort and safety of her shitty bungalow whilst Doctors and Nurses sit with their thumbs up their arses in ICU doing literally zip to acknowledge her flat out commitment to end the pandemic one index finger at a time.

Harassment in the workplace should never be condoned. No matter how shit people are at their job.

We all know how Jack feels about harassment #bekind

It's not even under the guise of going after the Tories as it was your local MPs. Some areas have labour, green and other MPs. So these people who want to help the NHS were being targeted with emails and even if everyone wrote a very softly softly message to them it's still stressful hearing your phone or laptop go off to that level or open your email to 1000000000s of messages all saying the same thing. These people are very very busy dealing with the pandemic at present and they are already stressed. The frontline staff all need payrises as they have kept the country going but I standby saying this is not the way to go about asking for it?!!!

Meh. They'll have the respond and delete set up, plus the hashtag muted on their Twitter accounts.

I'd far rather they had the time and space to deal with actual constituents' problems than this attention seeking spam.

Howling at her scrabbling around to quickly lay claim as the founder of a hashtag in her bio.

Also everything I read #thunderclapforcarers I start humming the Thundercats theme tune, so I hope this campaign runs out of steam as fast as everything else she does.
