The speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle, has raised serious concern about the safety of MP's. He sees this as undermining the very foundations of our democracy. If they cannot go about the business of being an MP without fear of favour - then the system cannot continue. Today they're subject to ridicule, outright hostility and threats to their safety. Over recent years two have been killed and some assaulted. Social media has made the situation far worse. This should worry us all who value the democratic process.
