多年来，英国的政治环境动荡不定，过去五年来英国脱欧和领导危机。通过这项工作，我们想更多地了解全球突发公共卫生事件COVID-19如何影响英国政客与公众互动时受到的虐待的数量，类型或主题。通过这项工作，我们想更多地了解全球突发公共卫生事件COVID-19如何影响英国政客与公众互动时受到的虐待的数量，类型或主题。这项工作涵盖了2020年6月至2020年12月，并分析了Twitter对英国国会议员的滥用情况。这项工作是对我们在英国COVID-19大流行的头四个月期间在线滥用情况进行分析后的后续工作。本文研究了在这个新的七个月内的总体滥用水平，分析对不同政党和英国政府成员的反应，以及在线滥用与英国脱欧，政府的COVID-19回应和政策以及社会问题等主题之间的关系。此外，在此期间，我们还检查了在对议员的辱骂性答复中张贴的阴谋论的存在。我们发现，对英国国会议员的虐待水平在2020年12月达到历史最高水平（占国会议员发送的所有回复推文的5.4％）。这比大选前的两个月高出将近1％。与大流行前四个月的趋势背道而驰，保守党议员从2020年7月起收到的虐待回覆率最高，从2020年9月起一直保持在5％以上，

MP Twitter Engagement and Abuse Post-first COVID-19 Lockdown in the UK: White Paper

The UK has had a volatile political environment for some years now, with Brexit and leadership crises marking the past five years. With this work, we wanted to understand more about how the global health emergency, COVID-19, influences the amount, type or topics of abuse that UK politicians receive when engaging with the public. With this work, we wanted to understand more about how the global health emergency, COVID-19, influences the amount, type or topics of abuse that UK politicians receive when engaging with the public. This work covers the period of June to December 2020 and analyses Twitter abuse in replies to UK MPs. This work is a follow-up from our analysis of online abuse during the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The paper examines overall abuse levels during this new seven month period, analyses reactions to members of different political parties and the UK government, and the relationship between online abuse and topics such as Brexit, government's COVID-19 response and policies, and social issues. In addition, we have also examined the presence of conspiracy theories posted in abusive replies to MPs during the period. We have found that abuse levels toward UK MPs were at an all-time high in December 2020 (5.4% of all reply tweets sent to MPs). This is almost 1% higher that the two months preceding the General Election. In a departure from the trend seen in the first four months of the pandemic, MPs from the Tory party received the highest percentage of abusive replies from July 2020 onward, which stays above 5% starting from September 2020 onward, as the COVID-19 crisis deepened and the Brexit negotiations with the EU started nearing completion.
