British MPs are pressing for tougher security in the wake of the death of David Amess, the second killing of a UK politician while meeting constituents in just over five years.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour Party leader Keir Starmer arrive at the scene where David Amess was stabbed.The fatal stabbing of British lawmaker David Amess was a terrorist incident, police said Saturday, as MPs pressed for tougher security in the wake of the second killing of a UK politician while meeting constituents in just over five years.

Britain's politicians were stunned by the highly public attack, which recalled the murder of a pro-EU lawmaker ahead of the Brexit referendum. House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle promised no "knee-jerk reactions" but told Sky News: "We will take further measures if we need to". Ms Cox's killer repeatedly shouted "Britain first" before shooting and stabbing the 41-year-old MP outside her constituency meeting near Leeds, northern England.

"These increasing attacks have rather spoilt the great British tradition of the people openly meeting their elected politicians," he said.MPs' staff have also spoken of bearing the brunt of abuse.
