It was revealed that he is the son of a former advisor to the Somalian prime minister and his uncle is the Chinese ambassador.[11][12]
On 15 October 2021, Chris Williamson tweeted:
I must pay tribute to David Amess following his horrific murder today. We shared a passion for animal rights, fire safety and fuel poverty.
When I was suspended from @UKLabour he sent me a private message of support, as he did when I lost my seat.
RIP David".[13]
MPs are calling for internet censorship legislation in response to his death.[14] Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab said that online hate is "out of control".[15]
Tony Gosling and Katharine Gun see a connection to other murders of public figures in the UK whose delivery to the hospital did take too long (Princess Diana, Jo Cox).[16]
