Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has spoken of his fear that another MP will be murdered following the horrific deaths of Sir David Amess and Jo Cox. Sir Lindsay said the worry keeps him awake at night and that he himself has received sinister threats.
Conservative MP Sir David Amess, 69, was stabbed to death during a constituency meeting a year ago. Meanwhile Labour MP Jo Cox was killed in a gun and knife attack in 2016, when Sir Lindsay was Deputy Speaker and her party colleague.
Sir Lindsay, 65, told The Sunday Mirror: "I remember getting a call to tell me the tragic news Jo Cox had been murdered. Five years later I picked up the phone to hear that Sir David had been attacked while holding a surgery.
