A number of British members of Parliament (MP) held meetings with their constituents on Saturday amid concerns for the safety of lawmakers, less than a day after a Conservative MP was stabbed to death.
Sir David Amess, 69-year-old MP for Southend West, was fatally stabbed on Friday around midday at Belfairs Methodist Church in the English town of Leigh-on-Sea. He was holding a so-called “constituency surgery,” which is often held regularly by elected politicians so their constituents can meet and speak with them.
