“He was a man of the people, he was absolutely there for everyone” Home Secretary Priti Patel pays tribute to her friend Conservative MP Sir David Amess Police say they are treating his death as a terrorist incident

Security of MPs after the death of Sir David Amess is a big topic for debate this morning.

Labour MP Harriet Harman, chair of the Human Rights Select Committee, who reported on threats to MPs in 2019, says she will be writing to the prime minister asking him to back a Speaker's Conference to review the safety of parliamentarians in their constituenciesShe told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the issue of MP safety had"absolutely" worsened since her election in 1982 and in the wake of Sir David's death,"we can't just assert that nothing should change".

"I don't think anybody wants to go to a situation where the police are vetting individual constituents who come and see us, but I'm sure there is a safer way to go about our business," she said. She added since Jo Cox's death there had been changes to home security and security in Parliament, but not about"how we go about that important business in our constituency, but do it in a safe way"."We cannot have the death of an MP being a price worth paying for our democracy."

BBCPolitics we’ve imported this problem.

BBCPolitics How was the Muslim allowed allowed to carry a huge knife o that’s right black people said it was not fair stop and search people so MPs who in my opinion are frightened of being in conflict with black people climbed down something about not been seen to be racist no prevention

BBCPolitics Whereas pritipatel is not , she is a divisive figure .

Lost words - when our Government have let these monsters in, these lone wolf attacks are on the increase.

Even in this she is not credible, not believable. These words should be spoken by someone who means them!

Terrible what happened...but there for everyone...except the poor.

I hear he was anti-lockdowns, anti-masks and anti-vaccine passports. In which case this is wasn't a random attack by an Islamic nutter. Very fishy.

This is what happens when you don’t pull your finger out your tuppence and these ⬇️⬇️ rock up day in day out.

BBCPolitics Wow. What a hypocrite. 🤢

part of the problem

UK parliament must debate on Hindu genocide going on in Bangladesh..

When the public are attacked by terrorism the terrorist is named immediately.... when an mp is brutally killed they don't name the terrorist

26 killings in London by fatal stabbings so far, non treated as terrorist activity? If the perpertaitor is an Islamic follower, does that make their crime different? What is the difference between a Muslim and an Islamist?
