Political activism
During the general election campaign in 2015, Tomlinson was one of the key founders of the Milifandom movement, and was identified as the 'leader'. After his defeat, Miliband personally thanked the campaign. Tomlinson describes herself as an intersectional feminist. After the election, former Conservative MP Louise Mensch was accused of harassment by John Prescott after sending dozens of tweets to Tomlinson, calling on her to apologise for claiming to be the founder of Milifandom.
Tomlinson has subsequently written for The Guardian and the New Statesman and called for the lowering of the voting age to 16. She has started a YouTube channel called WestminsterAbby interviewing politicians such as Jeremy Corbyn and Andy Burnham. In 2015 she appeared on Channel 4 News to endorse Andy Burnham in the Labour leadership election.
