Tory MP David Amess Stabbed to Death 15/10/21

Fair point, I framed it like that as they both happened at their surgeries.
Yeah, I agree it's worth noting that they happened at constituency surgeries.

I would guess that is the occasion when most MPs have the most close contact with individual members of the public, so if you wanted to knock one off, it would possibly provide the best opportunity, whether or not you're a genuine constituent.
 
He was, weirdly, a supporter of the PMOI/MEK. (Well makes sense geopolitically, but they’re a weird group)?

Also they offer an opportunity where minimal effort is required to discover when and where a particular MP will be. As opposed to higher profile members of government etc going on walkabouts where their presence often isnt revealed to the masses ahead of time. Or maybe it is discoverable and I just never bothered trying to discover it, but certainly when it comes to big cheeses turning up in my town, I usually only hear about it after the event. I imagine keeping the number of people in the know fairly limited is part of the basics of security.
