"I think they should do more – they do have a responsibility for online," she told The Guardian.
Ms Rayner also claimed Facebook had told her fellow MP Stephen Doughty that "they had a higher bar for politicians" when he complained about the abuse and threats he had received.
“It is almost as if politicians should accept a certain amount of bullying and abuse online," she said.
