Summary

A second MP in five years is killed during the performance of constituency duties. Will the death of Sir David Amess change the temperature of political debate?

Ros Taylor starts your week. “Police protection at surgeries is all very well, but marginalised people can be very afraid of the police – with good reason.” “People will always exploit tragedies like these for their own political ends.” “Kids are still paying the price for adults' failure on COVID.” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production Learn more about your ad choices.
