Sky News has spoken with several members of the Welsh parliament about their own experiences after Lee Waters announced he would delete his X account once he steps down from his transport role.
This week a Welsh government minister announced he would delete his X account once he steps back from his transport role, after facing significant abuse on social media. Lee Waters, the Welsh government's deputy minister for climate change, said he would now receive 'a pile of malign comments for even the most innocuous posts'. Sky News has spoken to a number of members of the Welsh parliament about their own experiences.
Ms Asghar told Sky News that since her election she had been 'fortunate' not to have faced much abuse until a recent incident when giving a talk to students. 'It was a really difficult time and it was probably the first time in my career that not just myself, where I felt unsafe, but I felt unsafe and scared for my team as well, which is very important to me,' she said.
