ALLIANCE Party leader Naomi Long has hit out at "misogynistic bullying" of female politicians on Twitter.
The East Belfast MLA said she had experienced numerous remarks over the past week and accused the social media platform of failing to act.
She tweeted: "The abuse I have witnessed here of women in politics, from every party, over their appearance is misogynistic bullying designed to silence women's voices.
"It will not work. We are stronger.
"Twitter has policies on targeted harassment on protected grounds but will not act. Why?"
Asked online what prompted her Twitter post, she wrote: "A string of them over the last while and my own experience in the last week."
