At the least two former UK prime ministers have reacted to information of Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) David Amess’s killing Friday.
David Cameron, who served as prime minister from 2010 till 2016, known as the information “devastating, horrific & tragic.”
“He was essentially the most dedicated MP you could possibly ever hope to fulfill,” Cameron stated.
Gordon Brown, who served as prime minister earlier than Cameron from 2007 till 2010, provided his condolences to Amass’s family and friends.
Theresa Could, who served as prime minister from 2016 till 2019, known as the stabbing “heartbreaking” and described Amess as a “respectable man and revered Parliamentarian.”
Former prime minister Tony Blair, who served within the position from 1997 to 2007, stated he was “shocked and horrified” by the homicide of Amess.
“David and I got here into Parliament collectively in 1983,” he stated in an announcement.
“Although on reverse political sides I at all times discovered him a courteous, respectable and totally likeable colleague who was revered throughout the Home,” he stated.
“It is a horrible and unhappy day for our democracy,” he added.
