hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, john stapleton and political editor of the sun on sunday, dave wooding. tomorrow's for pages today starting with the killing of sir david amess dominates every front page— with all of them carrying pictures of the mp with a broad smile. the times highlights his work in support of animal welfare. the daily star asks how it could happen again — only five years after the murder ofjo cox. the �*i' says the local community and politicians are in shock. the financial times reports that the killing has reignited the debate over politicians�* safety. the daily mirror points out he died serving the people.

meanwhile, the daily telegraph highlights the home secretary ordering an urgent review of mps security. the daily mail says the killing comes just weeks after he gave away one of his four daughters. while the sun say police are investigating whether the suspect had terrorist motives. let's kick off. john, one of those days where there is no doubt about what the story is. there is no argument over how big it is news is. obviously, all of the papers have slightly different ways of treating it starting with the male. comparatives lead to a recent photograph of him and his daughter alex at her wedding. yes. photograph of him and his daughter alex at her wedding.— alex at her wedding. yes, i happily married man _ alex at her wedding. yes, i happily married man four— alex at her wedding. yes, i happily married man four daughters - alex at her wedding. yes, i happily married man four daughters and i alex at her wedding. yes, i happily married man four daughters and a | married man four daughters and a son, and i think his wife was a

part—time caseworker as well, it's not known at this stage whether she was present in the church when this terrible incident took place. i've been watching the news to me or channel afternoon, quite frankly command msa i have been absolutely overwhelmed by the respect and love, have to say that's been expressed for this man, notjust from people in the streets, his constituents, but also his colleagues in the house of commons and former prime ministers, etc. he appears to be, i've never met him, but he appears to have a charming man who most people on both sides of the house, all political parties respected and actually admired for what he did. he had some strong political views, he was anti—abortion and pro— bragg said. that was probably driven by his catholic faith, but he also kind spirited. he campaigned on animal welfare, campaign for people who were suffering fuel poverty and other causes like that, which did for notjust his fellow colleagues but for those on the left and right

of the house, and also to people in his constituency. he was come as one person said, quintessentially the constituency and be who cared about his community and particularly stop i don't want to talk more about the man, dave, you will have known him for a long time and your various incarnations at westminster, but picking up on the line of a terror police probe, suspected terrorist snake then ran into the church in a frenzied attack on at the end he was wounded 12 times dying at the scene. if it is a terrorist attack and we don't know that, there's nothing that says it is, it is just as the police have set committee passed it to counterterrorism and all the rest of it, get back gives them flexibility, subsequently they can be arrested and held him much longer on a terrorism legislation, but inevitably, when that kind of spectre is raised to make changes in some ways the nature of the debate, doesn't that? i some ways the nature of the debate, doesn't that?—

that— bar and go and chat to a minister. that can't— bar and go and chat to a minister. that can't happen any more. there is a huge _ that can't happen any more. there is a huge security screen thrown around that, and _ a huge security screen thrown around that, and i_ a huge security screen thrown around that, and i fear that perhaps the way that— that, and i fear that perhaps the way that mps operate in their local communities may have to change after this. , , communities may have to change after this. ,, , this. this is i suppose committee serve the people, _ this. this is i suppose committee serve the people, how _ this. this is i suppose committee serve the people, how do - this. this is i suppose committee serve the people, how do you - this. this is i suppose committee i serve the people, how do you serve them more than by going face—to—face with them at their convenience on their doorstep. that with them at their convenience on their doorstep-— their doorstep. that is what democracy _ their doorstep. that is what democracy is _ their doorstep. that is what democracy is all _ their doorstep. that is what democracy is all about. - their doorstep. that is whatj democracy is all about. this their doorstep. that is what - democracy is all about. this has damage notjust this poorfamily, but damaging democracy is welcome and that is that mps are all about, they are there to represent our views and listen to our concerns. that is why they have these surgeries to listen to a people have got to say, and hopefully resolve the problems for them and if necessary raise issue in the house and get the lives changed her constitution changed. that's what it's all about. i was listening to jo cox's sister this afternoon, this has changed things dramatically. she said this has caused fear. she said

she is frightened, that she is now, of course and of creston at the same constituency which jo cox represented until five years ago. she said that her partner had come home today and said to her i don't need to do this any more. the question is how do you resolve this? i don't think there is an easy answer. afterjo cox's stepped into several mps got advice from within the house about security, some of them i think had security people and their surgeries with them, some changed the format of that, so there was at least a desk between them in the present they were talking to. they had a door nearby to escape if necessary, but others refuse to do it, refused to do even that because they said that's not what we are all about. and i really don't know how you resolve this unless you have got a screen between nine and the people that they are talking to, or you have police marching outside their offices, surgeries and they are having these discussions, which is unrealistic, and let's not forget, you know, this poor man use to have his surgeries in the local tory party office but said, no, i want to go to the people, so that's why they had these meetings in this instance in the local church and other places

like that where i presume there was next to no security, because he wanted to do hisjob properly and he wanted to do hisjob properly and he wanted to do hisjob properly and he wanted to be seen talking to the people. white necked anthony mentioned earlier this uncertainty about whether lady amess was there are not. they did have a kind of routine security measure which is the visitors were asked to give a name and address to this constituency staff at the door of the charge before they were allowed in and presumably this man had to do that, but it is a fairly obvious, you know, a fairly simple check, it's not really anything, the person who is going to do that is probably the present was not going to give you their real name and address, and anybody else gives their real name and address is probably not a threat. they said that we need to look at security and the stick of house at the same thing, and clearly they do. everyone needs to have a discussion about this, but possibly one of the things that they will suggest is that. they make sure that

cimino, they know precisely who is coming into meetings, where they are from, what they are all about, they now address as, where they live and what they want to talk about because apparently some mps have been on the countryjust apparently some mps have been on the country just let anyone wander apparently some mps have been on the countryjust let anyone wander in, they don't even have to call before hand, they can just rock and address the np with their alleged concern. and as this poor man has pointed out, sir david, i think in his recent book, they do get people in those situations with mental health issues, and with all due respect without the sympathy in the world, thatis without the sympathy in the world, that is potentially a very dangerous situation, notjust for np, but the staff as well. it’s situation, not “ust for np, but the staff as wen.— staff as well. it's worth remembering - staff as well. it's worth remembering that - staff as well. it's worth remembering that the | staff as well. it's worth - remembering that the first staff as well. it's worth _ remembering that the first person to die in nice white neck situation was a constituency worker who was killed in an attack with a japanese sword on the night that david mentioned. i just want to pick up on the photograph of david amess. i don't know a photograph of him where he is

and smiling command it's a big beaming smile, it's also him with dogs, animal welfare and payment the union frag —— union flag alexis wrapped around him, and if you wonder photograph that epitomised them, that would be it. and at least forjournalists, unlikejo cox it no disrespect her, she was quite a new np, my recollection from a sheet elected at that parliament, david amess is a very well—known figure. there is no shortage of material to illustrate and write about ten and feel quite lengthy obituaries. yes. feel quite lengthy obituaries. yes, he's been in _ feel quite lengthy obituaries. yes, he's been in house _ feel quite lengthy obituaries. yes, he's been in house since _ feel quite lengthy obituaries. is: he's been in house since1983, he he's been in house since 1983, he wanted that landslide victory of margaret thatcher which was before my time, you know, those first pictures of hand, i was looking at them today when he won and that landslide. he won by a very small margin, but it was only because of his personality, that big smile on the night — his personality, that big smile on the night wind over so many people
