Yvette Cooper has been accused of “adding salt onto an open wound” after rejecting calls from the family of murdered MP Sir David Amess for a public inquiry into the killing.
In the letter addressed to Sir David’s widow, Lady Julia Amess, and his daughter, Katie Amess, the home secretary 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.
