Ahead of #PMQs, I discussed on @SkyNews paying tribute to our wonderful colleague Sir David Amess MP & his values of kindness & compassion, & discussed Gov’s Online Harms Bill & need to tackle anonymous online hate. I’ll be putting forward proposals on social media verification https://t.co/gfHHuO29VR — PolitiTweet.org

Rehman Chishti @Rehman_Chishti

I will be putting forward in @HouseofCommons a Private Members Bill that will require social media companies to introduce ID verification for UK users, to help stop anonymous hate being put out by trolls, which affects all in this country, whether they are in public office or not https://t.co/D5UYeXYf1U — PolitiTweet.org

Having previously questioned social media companies back in 2017 as member of Home Affairs Select Committee on their failure to take down hate content - which can feed into extreme views & ultimately violent extremism - I believe Gov’t now needs to take decisive action on this https://t.co/5Un1Hwe258 — PolitiTweet.org

As we look at the issue of tackling extremism, both Daesh-inspired & far-right inspired, important to look at previous work by @CommonsHomeAffs, having covered this during my time on the Committee 2016-17. Both forms of extremism are evil & feed off each other @BBCNews @SkyNews — PolitiTweet.org

Today in Parliament, MPs paid tribute to our brilliant colleague Sir David Amess. I was sadly not called on this occasion, but in this video share some of the comments I would have made. Covered the values & commitment Sir David stood for through a prayer by St John Henry Newman https://t.co/DOuRqlYUBr — PolitiTweet.org

Holding regular MP Street Surgery in Rainham shopping centre, which I have have done for past 11 years as MP, will continue to do so. It’s vital that MPs feel able to be accessible to constituents. I know my brilliant colleague & friend @amessd_southend would have done the same https://t.co/ZMdesivQRm — PolitiTweet.org

As Q is being raised re MPs security we need to help change attitudes! No amount of security alone will address this. As previously said in 2017, a culture sadly has been created where some think it ok to harass, threaten & attack MPs. This must stop! It undermines our democracy https://t.co/16kL8ECAbw — PolitiTweet.org

Rehman Chishti @Rehman_Chishti

Shocked & deeply saddened by the loss of David Amess MP after a horrific attack. David was one of the kindest people in Parliament & was deeply committed to his faith. It was an honour to sign his nomination papers to be Deputy Speaker. My thoughts & prayers are with his family. https://t.co/JR2aseKvHx — PolitiTweet.org
