at half—mast for sir david amess as questions are already being asked again about how to keep his colleagues safe. let's speak to one of those parliamentary colleagues, kate holland. when something like this happens, it shocks people in the immediate area, but i imagine the immediate area, but i imagine the ripple effect among you and your colleagues must be even more profound?— colleagues must be even more rofound? : , , , :, ., profound? absolutely. first of all, i would profound? absolutely. first of all, i would like _ profound? absolutely. first of all, i would like the _ profound? absolutely. first of all, i would like the say _ profound? absolutely. first of all, i would like the say my _ profound? absolutely. first of all, i would like the say my heart - profound? absolutely. first of all, i would like the say my heart goes out to david's family, friends and staff, to be taken away in such a horrific manner, it has got huge repercussions for lots of people. i was actually at a surgery yesterday when i heard the sad news. your first instinct is, is my staff safe? it is rally concerning —— really concerning. but of course it is important that mps can make face to face with their constituents. that is how we can challenge policies and the impact on people's lives. but of course safety must come first. very difficult. lancashire police contacted me within five minutes of the news breaking. checked if i was ok, if i felt safe. which at the time i did. but when you come away from the surgeries and you reflect what a dangerous situation we are putting ourselves and our staff in, it is concerning and we will be taking advice from the police on how to make sure the buildings we are using are as safe as possible. but also as open as possible for constituents.— also as open as possible for constituents. :, ., .. , constituents. you said lancashire olice constituents. you said lancashire police were _ constituents. you said lancashire police

to make sure where we _ them. no, the advice was to make sure where we positioned - them. no, the advice was to make i sure where we positioned ourselves, makes sure we were aware of exits if need be. of course, the tragic case ofjo cox made everyone aware of the situation they're putting themselves in and doing everything possible to keep themselves safe and i'm sure david done the exact same. when someone has this intent, it is very difficult, but as i said, it is important that we are accessible to constituents. is important that we are accessible to constituents-— constituents. is safety something that is very _ constituents. is safety something that is very much _ constituents. is safety something that is very much in _ constituents. is safety something that is very much in your- constituents. is safety something that is very much in your mind i constituents. is safety something i that is very much in your mind when you are out and about at public events where you are perhaps without necessarily that many people around you, and you are more great vulnerable, is it something that is always in mind, or is only after something like this that it starts to creep into your consciousness? sadly, it is only when such a tragedy occurs that you start to think again and you know as time moves on you sort of fall back into habits you had previously. as i say, it is very difficult. i was very shook up yesterday. mainly for understanding the impact on david's family and then you start to reflect, is this going to happen again? and how do we make sure that mps, any public servant and of course constituents who are attending surgeries are kept safe? anyone who has been to westminster, been through westminster will know the level of security and limits on access there are at the palace of westminster and the house of commons and the house of lords. if that sort of level of security, or approaching that level of security was attempted to put that in place in constituency, how much do you think that would start to damage the relationships between elective representatives and the people who vote them into office? ilrrui’eiiii representatives and the people who vote them into office?— representatives and the people who vote them into office? well it would hu:el , vote them into office? well it would hugely. you're _ vote them into office? well it would

parliament, but of course when i come back to blackburn i'm just kate holland, i do my shopping in the shopping centre, i walk about, i meet people and i carry on with life. so it would be very difficult and i would hate to be in a situation that constituents didn't feel they could come and talk to me, because of the levels of security. so it is trying to get that balance on keeping people safe. be vigilant, but still be accessible.— but still be accessible. kate, in all the conversations _ but still be accessible. kate, in all the conversations i - but still be accessible. kate, in all the conversations i have - but still be accessible. kate, in| all the conversations i have had since yesterday, i keep hearing people say this raises the question about how you keep mps safe, there are concerns, some things will have to change, but to this point, i have not heard anyone be able to come up with any concrete examples of what can change, without as you say damaging one of those key principles of our democracy, do you say any way that things could change while preserving that access? h0. that things could change while preserving that access?- that things could change while preserving that access? no, i think it would be — preserving that access? no, i think it would be very — preserving that access? no, i think it would be very difficult. _ preserving that access? no, i think it would be very difficult. i - preserving that access? no, i think it would be very difficult. i was - preserving that access? no, i think it would be very difficult. i was at i it would be very difficult. i was at two different venues yesterday and i probably cover 12 different venues over the constituency, they're well advertised. you know, it would be very difficult to make every venue secure. and even if you had security, questioned every person that was coming in, first of all it would be a huge deterrent for people, but you know it would be a huge resource in there. i don't see any way it can actually be totally secure, totally accessible, as i say there is advice from the police on there is advice from the police on the type of venue used, where you position yourself in a room. but if you're going to get people like the terrible young man who committed this crime yesterday, it is going to be very difficult to stop i'm afraid. but we have to remember that the, you know people are... are in general come to us, they feel safe and they want to talk and that is my job, to talk listen and try and find solutions. if you puts lots of security measures in, it would be impossible. there is over 600 mps who will travel to thousands of venues. last wee we did a public opening of a statue in blackburn. how do we make every place secure? it is impossible. i think the intelligence that the police have on people who actually commit crime like this, i think perhaps that may be has to be a bit more robust in tackling it. itjust, i'm sorry it isjust tackling it. itjust, i'm sorry it is just devastating, tackling it. itjust, i'm sorry it isjust devastating, i tackling it. itjust, i'm sorry it is just devastating, i just feel so sad for the family, i feel so

will be keenly felt by those who spent a lot of time with his work and to give a sense of the closeness of those relation ships. we can speak the a former advisor to chloe smith. this will feel to those who have worked alongside sir david as though they have lost a member of theirfamily, given how closely as though they have lost a member of their family, given how closely and how much time they would have spent work with him, day in day out, week in, week out. work with him, day in day out, week in. week out-— in, week out. absolutely that's ri . ht. in, week out. absolutely that's right- and _ in, week out. absolutely that's right- and my _ in, week out. absolutely that's right. and my first _ in, week out. absolutely that's right. and my first thought - in, week out. absolutely that's i right. and my first thought when, after processes the news about david amess's death is the fact that his staff will have witnessed what happened. at constituency surgeries, along with other meetings, members of staff are present to support the mp and to provide an extra dose of humanity and personalisation to a constituency surgery when people meet an mp, it can be intimidating and often it is the member of staff making a cup of tea are making a conversation that can put people at ease. his staff will have seen what happened and we spend a lot of time with our mps, our employers, we feel as part of sort of a family office. whether we work in westminster or in the constituency, but actually in the constituency, but actually in the constituency, but actually in the constituency, those staff are so much more exposed as you have been described, we are quite well protected in westminster. but the community staff are really exposed alongside their mp and that would have been greatly felt yesterday. in have been greatly felt yesterday. in the time that your working an as advisor to chloe smith, did your path cross that of sir david and what memories do you have of him, what memories do you have of him, what was he like as a colleague? i what was he like as a colleague? i did. once, iactually what was he like as a colleague? i did. once, i actually once went for a job interview with with david amess. needless to say they found somebody better for it. but he was very kind and clearly passionate about the work he did. it is a point worth making despite some of the language that is used in public life and in social media and in our press media, the vast majority of people who go into public life do in good faith and are trying to do their best, whether we agree with their political bent or not, david amess was a kind and compassionate human being trying to serve his constituents as best he could. this constituents as best he could. as someone who works in that field, alongside mps, how much of a concern is safety on a day—to—day basis for those who work in constituency offices and in westminster and what sort of guidance or training are you given? we heard from kate holland about the advice to be aware of where the nearest exit is, is that the sort of thing, as part of an induction when you start working, are you given that kind of advice? clearly that all increased specifically after the murder ofjo cox in her constituency. that became very sharply in focus. but we were definitely aware. i was based in westminster, you get very, very comfortable very quickly in that environment, which is essentially like a fortress, you go through the security checks, you have armed police around the building, armed police around the building, armed police boats on the river, if you're looking out the windows, you can see the level of protection and you get used to feeling that you're in that bubble and protected and safe. constituency offices very much more exposed, but they are given a lot of security measures that came into place after the murder ofjo cox. we were talked to and given training in terms of what to do, were somebody to breach the security at westminster. although i think in the time that i was work there, i'm not certain i ever thought that was a realistic possibility, given the strength of the security presence that was outside. in constituency offices, you know, i can't comment on any specific arrangements, it wouldn't be right for me to do so, but there are measures in place to protect constituency staff. that being said, they are all very much a response to what happens if violence is already taking place. and how to protect yourself from an attack once it has begun. i think where we are starting to need to look now is way before that, to understand where that violence and strength of feeling is coming from. notjust when it takes place in these unbelievably extreme cases likejo cox and david amess, but also in term of mps who have been subject to horrific abuse online, subject to stalking and intimidation this is not only case of abuse we have seen and we need to look at where the violence is originating.— and we need to look at where the violence is originating. thank you. let's hear more _ violence is originating. thank you. let's hear more about _

robbed of their father and husband and five children were robbed of theirfather and i think that that should be the main focus of when it comes. we are all grieving, but none more so than the family.

work that sir david did, and just evenin work that sir david did, and just even in his last few days, he was passionate and he was defending a local green belt from development. he was doing all he could to improve fire safety in local tower blocks. he was supporting the women's tour cycle event that came through the constituency just a week ago. cycle event that came through the constituencyjust a week ago. even his last speech he made in the house of commons, he was passionately believing for southend to receive city status. i have to say i can't think of any more fitting

had a smile on his face. and dare i say it, he was one of those rather annoying people that was always liked by everyone! and is the sir david. :, , , david. 0k, a very fitting tribute. ton cox david.

to —— leigh—on—sea the day after sir david amess was taken in such a shocking manner. our coverage continues on bbc news. thank you for watching. so we continue our coverage here on bbc news and we can hear one more of the tributes from the home secretary made a short while ago. priti patel. we are all struggling to come to terms with the fact that david amess has been so cruelly taken from us, less than 2a hours ago, david was in his own constituency, doing a local advice surgery, that is something all mps do week in, week out. of course david, as i knew him and as we knew him, was a passionate champion for southend and with that of course he was a man of the people. he was there for everyone. he was a much—loved parliamentarian. to me, he was a dear and loyal friend. but also he was a devoted husband and father. and we think of julia and their children at this really sad time. they're in our thoughts the. and in or prayers. and of course you have seen some of the tributes that have been laid today for david and i think that absolutes reflects the warmth and affection that people had for him. the prime minister and i have come to pay our own respects and our tributes to david while also paying respects to the emergency services and the police in particular, who responded yesterday with both great speed, but also with selfless professionalism, putting themselves in harm's way to protect the rest of us. now clearly there is a live police investigation taking place right now. there are obviously discussions around mps' security too. and when we think of david, david himself, a man of the people, he was killed doing a job that he loved, serving his own constituents as an elected member and acts of this are absolutely wrong and we cannot let that get in the way of our functioning democracy. so there are measures under way, democracy. so there are measures underway, i democracy. so there are measures under way, i convened meetings yesterday and i have been with the speaker of the house and the police and security services to make sure all measures are put in place for the security of mps so they can carry on with their duties as elected democratic members. but all our thoughts are now with david and david's dear, dearfamily. this is an absolutely tragic time. and we hold them close, we absolutely hold them close in our thoughts and prayers. and
