""We got no answers out of the last couple of reviews." "They have offered us a review and my point is this is a review of a review of a review. They're trying to assure me that we will get more.

""During his trial, the court heard he had been radicalised online by the group calling itself Islamic State. He had previously been referred to Prevent, a government scheme designed to identify and prevent radicalisation, and he was part of the programme between 2014 and 2016. A governmentcommissioned review of the system by Lord Anderson in 2025 concluded there had been 'a string of failures' in the case, mainly down to 'human error'.""
Katie Amess met the Home Secretary seeking a full public inquiry into Sir David Amess's murder but was offered another review. The Conservative MP for Southend West was killed at a constituency surgery in October 2021 by Ali Harbi Ali, who is serving life in prison. The court heard Ali had been radicalised online by the group calling itself Islamic State and had previously been referred to the Prevent programme between 2014 and 2016. A governmentcommissioned review by Lord Anderson in 2025 found 'a string of failures' mainly attributed to 'human error'. Senior Essex coroner Lincoln Brookes declined the family's request to reopen the inquest, stating that shortcomings in Prevent did not of themselves amount to evidence regarding Sir David's death.
