Five years after the murder of Sir David Amess by Ali Harbi Ali, Nigel Farage warned MPs are under more threat than ever. Speaking in Chelmsford, Essex on Thursday, Farage said Amess's death was a "huge shock," as he was widely respected and not especially controversial. Amess, 69, was stabbed to death at a constituency surgery on October 15, 2021, in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Ali had been referred to the anti-radicalization scheme Prevent but his case was closed in 2016; he was convicted and given a whole life order for murder and preparing terrorist acts. Farage expressed concern that growing intolerance could deter good people from entering public service, reflecting on the increased dangers faced by MPs over the past decade.
