'I Beg Them To Reconsider' Sir David Amess’s Daughter Speaks Of ‘Betrayal’ After Inquiry Rejected

The daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess has spoken of the Home Secretary’s “betrayal” after rejecting his family’s calls for a public inquiry into his death.

Katie Amess tells Mike Graham she questioned why incidents such as the Southport and Nottingham attacks merited a probe.

Yvette Cooper wrote to Ms Amess and Sir David’s widow, Lady Julia Amess, to reject their calls for an inquiry, which the pair branded “totally unacceptable” and “insulting”.

In the letter, Ms Cooper said it was “hard to see how an inquiry would be able to go beyond” terrorist killer Ali Harbi Ali’s trial and the recently published Prevent learning review.

Ali had been referred to Prevent seven years before he killed Sir David on October 15 2021, but his case was closed in 2016.

The so-called Islamic State fanatic stabbed the veteran MP at his constituency surgery in Essex and was sentenced to a whole-life order in 2022.

Family adviser and spokesperson Radd Seiger also joins Mike.

Yvette Cooper should be sacked! Usual waste of space.

[NPC--]

Remember Stammer said he'd protect them over all others.

[wearethemany]

All decision making by Starmer and his government is beyond comprehension and simply shows the utter contempt they have for the people of this country.

If it was coopers father that was murdered she would have an enquiry. What a nasty piece of work she is. 😡😡

[chieftandriver]

He was the wrong victim and the accused has more influence and more governmental protection than an actual MP has.
That shows how little the rest of us count.

[brundelfly]

Both parties managed to ignore the actual issues at the time and somehow linked this tragedy to us proles being mean to MP's on social media. It was appalling and self serving. I wish Katie Amess the best.

Yvette Cooper is cold and heartless, Katie your dear Dad would be so proud of you fighting for justice.❤️

[denise]

And cooper and starmer were at his funeral! They make me sick!

[theoriginalTig]

As a politician he deserves an enquiry.. there by the grace of God go all of them x

[oee]

Despicable.
YC's decision is made based on which ground? 😡

[tonetn]

should never beg communist idelogs, demand

[martinhenry]

"Community relations" trumps all, even it seems when an MP is the victim.

[Thesunisshinning]

They don't want to upset their voters.

[davidLPST]

I don’t see why we need a public enquiry about the terrible murder of one man, as sad as it is. We know what happened. We know why.

[hughbaker]

Talk radio with m Ike Graham.annoyingly difficult to. Watch with so many, be back soon., breaks. Not so many with other presenters.

[debfluffy]

What would enquiry tell us that we don't already know?

“I can’t eat..” who you trying to kid love?
