David Amess’s family show clip of Starmer calling for ‘questions to answer’ after inquiry into MP’s death rejected

Sir David Amess’s family have shown a clip of Sir Keir Starmer saying there are “questions to answer” after an inquiry into the MP’s death was rejected.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper today (10 March) rejected calls from the family of Sir David for a public inquiry into his death in a letter branded “unacceptable” and “insulting” by the murdered MP’s widow and daughter.

In the letter addressed to Lady Julia Amess and Katie Amess, Yvette 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.

Speaking at a press conference following Ms Cooper’s decision, the family showed an Independent TV clip of the prime minister previously calling for action following Sir David’s death.
