Shama Tatler
Shama was the Labour candidate in Chingford and Woodford Green and almost unseated Iain Duncan Smith just a few weeks ago.
Had it not been for an independent candidate standing in the seat, Shama would almost certainly have won.
Shama describes her experience in full, including the abuse she faced and the misinformation spread about her.
In an election when many candidates had to suffer a similar fate, Shama's story is a vital testimony of how abusive modern politics has become.
