'Politician should not be a dirty word': Labour MP Harriet Harman

Tobias Ellwood urged MPs to end surgeries but Speaker Lindsay Hoyle held his last night amid widespread debate over MPs' security and how to better protect parliamentarians. It follows the murder of Sir David Amess at his Southend surgery on Friday, Robert Largan, the Conservative MP for High Peak in Derbyshire, said he would still hold his surgery from 10.30am this morning while a number of other councillors took to social media to express their defiance. Meanwhile, Labour MP Harriet Harman, who was sworn in to the House of Commons on the same day as Sir David in the 1980s, said she would be writing to the Prime Minister to ask for a Speaker's Conference to find a solution. Asked whether there could be a balance between the safety of MPs and the democratic process, Home Secretary Priti Patel today said: 'It can be balanced, it can absolutely be balanced.'
