Conservative MP Sir David Amess dies after being stabbed at constituency surgery, police say In the heat of the Brexit referendum, MP Jo Cox was murdered. Now, another MP has been murdered, also while out meeting constituents. This one doesn’t seem ideological, Amess was a Tory and a not so ideological Leaver. I’m sure we will find out more as to any motive, but it’s still tragic that in just a few short years the U.K. has lost two MPs simply for just doing their jobs. > **[Sir David Amess: Conservative MP stabbed to death](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58930593)** > > A 25-year-old man, said by a government source to be a British national, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. ---
