A Conservative MP has said he will give his backing to this evening’s controversial Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill because he “shouldn’t be interrupted by endless demonstrations” outside his office.
David Amess, the MP for Southend West, said his office looks onto Parliament Square and he has “long complained about the endless demonstrations which take place on this very busy roundabout”.
He added that it is “very difficult to work because of the drums, horns and speakers.
“And Parliament, being the seat of democracy, our work should not be disrupted”.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can’t do it without you.
