What a shame @thetimesscot didn’t seek comment from me on this news story particularly as it reads like another sly attempt to smear me. Please read this thread.

Had @thetimesscot spoken to me I could have told them that yes frequently posts in the US do feature me usually when they are abusing me & threatening me for standing up for #WomensRights in my work on @HumanRightsCtte. Frequently I’m sent this violent image

Unfortunately this problem started close to home & continues led by a number of actors some of whom are @theSNP members & close to Mr Smith. Despite my complaints indeed pleas for help nothing has been done to address this issue

The idea that Mr Smith is “leading work to root out online bots & trolls within the SNP” is laughable. Here is a sample of the work of such trolls from a man who is close to Mr Smith. I asked him to speak with the man. He refused. thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5355127/s…

At the weekend a number of SNP parliamentarians, councillors & employees joined with other parties to sign a letter defaming me. It has since been altered but only under threat of legal action. One of the signatories works for the First Minister

Last year as part of this campaign of intimidation I received what Police Scotland and the Met considered a credible death threat & required police protection. As you can imagine this takes quite a toll on me, my girlfriend, my family & my staff

When is someone in the leadership of my party going to call out the campaign of abuse, smears & violent intimidation against me? I am pleading with our leader @NicolaSturgeon to do something or at the very least acknowledge the problem I face.

To those who say Joanna don’t do this in the public domain I say I have repeatedly raised this with @theSNP to no avail & everyone even a middle aged lesbian has the right to defend their good name & their personal safety. Thank you
