What more can be done to keep MPs safe after Sir David Amess’s death?
Conservative MP Sir David Amess died on 15 October 2021, after being stabbed more than 20 times during a constituency surgery. Ali Harbi Ali has been found guilty of his murder and of preparing acts of terrorism. Sir David is not the first MP to have been killed or injured in recent years. Is enough being done to keep MPs safe?
