Sir David Amess.

My heart goes out to David’s wife and children, his staff, friends and constituents.

This is a dark and shocking day. The whole country will feel it acutely, perhaps the more so because we have, heartbreakingly, been here before.

Above all else, today I am thinking of David, of the dedicated public servant that he was and of the depth of positive impact he had for the people he represented. Informed by his faith, David had a profound sense of duty, that I witnessed first hand in parliament. His Catholicism was central to his political life and he was highly respected across Parliament, within the church and in the Christian community.

Let us come together in response to these horrendous events. We will show once more that violence, intimidation and threats to our democracy will never prevail over the tireless commitment of public servants simply doing their jobs.

"Lets us come together" are words too late and words you could have uttered a couple of weeks ago with the rhetoric from your deputy. Read some of the posts from your own MPs they are shameful, platitudes don't work. It may seen harsh but honestly its time to call #Labour out.

I strongly suspect like many others it was one of your mob that did this.
