Tory MP Virginia Crosbie has revealed she feels the need to wear a stab-proof jacket when meeting her own constituents.
Her fellow Conservative MP Mike Freer has previously told how he and his staff had opted to wear stab vests and carry panic alarms for constituency surgeries, after he was targeted by the man who went on to kill Sir David.: ‘I have been in difficult situations. I have surgeries, I do face-to-face surgeries where I wear a stab jacket, obviously following the murder of David Amess.
‘And, unfortunately, this is one of the things I have to do to ensure that I can actually do the job that I was elected to do.’She has spoken out before about receiving threats and abuse, but believes there have been no improvements for MPs. ‘I think there’s an awful lot more that we can do in terms of social media and abuse. I think there needs to be more accountability.
