RIP Sir David, my condolences to his poor family

So if he wasn’t an outstanding MP would it have been alright?

Bring back hanging

Some people responding need to remember that Jo Cox was murdered by a domestic terrorist...he just happened to be British and white. He also suffered from mental illness.

There are a considerable number of MP's who put there heart and soul into doing good for there constituents and for their country this guy was one of those utterly shocking

Only GB news giving the news as it happens and giving the nationality of the monster as sly news and bbc swerve the issue unless it was far right

This is sad. But he wasn’t a good man. Racist. Homophobe. Misogynistic

😥

Truly shocking. This, along with the human tragedy was an attack on democracy

BBCPolitics Said nothing of Rayner inciting hatred of Tory MPs.

Absolutely devastating and tragic. The media have a lot of responsibility for dehumanising politicians. That doesn’t excuse the actions of the individual who murdered Sir Amess. May Sir Amess RIP. My thoughts with his famiy, colleagues and friends.

It looks like a terrorist attack

Why we letting these terrorist in to this country. Somebody answer us🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤦🏻

Religion of peace

Starmer - WE SEE YOU. Your Deputy literally called Mr Amess and his colleagues this the other week: “We cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, absolute vile … banana republic, vile, nasty, Etonian … piece of scum“. SACK RAYNER NOW.

He was a prominent roman catholic against gay marriage and against stopping climate change (voted against it multiple times) and he was attacked by a 25 year old man who somehow knew him personally. There's definitely more to this story.
