UK election abuse data

The GATE team (gate.ac.uk) at the University of Sheffield have collected 1.4 million tweets sent to and by UK members of parliament in the months leading up to the 2015 and 2017 UK general elections. These data have been compiled into two spreadsheets. Both contain the Twitter IDs of the MPs, gender, party, number of tweets that person sent in the period collected, number of tweets received, and the number of those tweets containing abuse terms. The 2017 data also contains ethnicities derived from Wikipedia data.
