'Questionable decision-making' in Prevent case involving ISIS-supporting killer of MP Sir David Amess
Wednesday, 12 February 2025 A "problematic" assessment of MP Sir David Amess's killer led to "questionable decision-making" and the "suboptimal" handling of his Prevent case, a review has found.
Chris Philp has joined the daughter of Sir David Amess to call for a public inquiry into his death. It comes just two days after Home Secretary Yvette Cooper rejected the MP's family's calls for the inquiry. Speaking during a meeting with the daughter of the late MP, Mr Philp said: "We do need to properly get to the bottom of the systemic failings in the Prevent system and only a proper inquiry can do that."

Chris Philp has supported calls for a public inquiry into the anti-terror programme 'Prevent'. It comes as the daughter of the late Sir David Amess, a Conservative MP who was murdered during a constitutency surgery in 2021, said she believes the Southport attacks may not have happened if there had been a full public inquiry into her father's death three years ago. Mr Philp said: "I think we do need a proper inquiry to look at these systemic issues where Prevent or mental health services have failed to take dangerous people off the streets." Report by Kennedyl.
