Sir David Amess RIP.

 Sir David Amess MP, has died after being stabbed multiple times at his local constituency surgery. My condolences to his family.

Whether this is an isolated attack, or part of a wider conspiracy is yet to be confirmed, but I was aware that there was a higher than normal threat level over the past couple of weeks.

Conference Season is always a tough time for the security and intelligence services, but it's possible the threat was wrongly ascribed to conferences and instead is a more direct threat to individual MPs and senior civil servants.

The situation is ongoing and I'm sure more details will emerge.

However, do be open to the possibility this is could be a wider conspiracy and I hope individual MP's personal security is now beefed up considerably alongside senior civil servants.
