Colleagues from all parties hailed the veteran Conservative Sir David Amess – who died after being attacked at a constituency surgery’ as a ‘true gent’ and a ‘decent’ family man.
And there was defiance that MPs must not bow to an ‘attack on democracy’ by refusing to meet voters face to face in future.
Returning to Downing Street to address the shocking news after a Cabinet away-day in Bristol, Boris Johnson said: ‘All our hears are full of shock and sadness.’
He said the death came after ‘almost 40 years of continuous service to the people of Essex and the whole of the United Kingdom’.
‘The reason people are so shocked and sad is above all he was one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics,’ he said.
‘He also had an outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable.’
Flags in Westminster are being flown at half-mast as a mark of respect to the 69-year-old, who had been an MP since 1983.
