MP Sir David Amess has been stabbed in major incident at his constituency surgery in Leigh.

The Tory MP for Southend West was holding a surgery at the Belfairs Methodist Church, in Eastwood Road North.

A man reportedly ran into the church in the last hour, before the MP was stabbed "several times".

A huge emergency presence has been spotted in the area nearby, alongside a police helicopter overhead.

Armed police have also been spotted at the scene, the Echo understands.

Which would be a terrible shame for those constituents in genuine need of help

 

[existentialist]

Regardless of the facts, the Government - and Pratel's Home Office in particular - are absolutely going to make hay with this. I don't think it's going to be pretty.

Good.

Indeed it would. And I guess often those most in need of help won't have access to IT stuff to do it via Zoom etc.

Yes, I work in the same place a local MP does his surgeries and most surgery visitors are people with immigration issues or other people who are not fluent in English needing help with bad landlord and that sort of thing

Good.

You having another one of those days, dear?

Make sure it's your workshy colleagues who are on duty in that area of the workplace next time there's a surgery.

Given his voting record on benefits it could be a relative of one of the 50,000 excess deaths caused by Tory austerity.
