James Corden and Anna Maxwell Martin are starring in The Constituent, a play that asks if MPs are no longer safe. Here, its writer explores what politicians wearing stab vests means for democracy
Since the murders of Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox and Southend West MP Sir David Amess, weβve seen a rising tide of viciousness aimed at locally elected politicians, by apparently fairly ordinary constituents. There are all manner of reasons, often surprisingly banal.
Female MPs are targeted for their gender. MPs from an ethnic minority background are disproportionately the target of racial or religious hatred. And some local MPs are targeted simply because theyβre politicians, tasked with fixing problems theyβre unable to fix. With a general election looming and MPs deciding which battles they can safely pick, there are fears the escalating hostility is a threat to democracy.

In a community blighted by the crack and heroin trade, few believe that politicians can help
βIf you donβt stab them, theyβll stab you.β It is hard to believe anyone would think like that, let alone say it on the BBC News at Ten. But here we were, my camera crew, producer and I, reporting on the streets of Middlesbrough, interviewing local teenagers. What happened next was genuinely disturbing.
One teenager, a self-confessed street level drug dealer, pulled out a large knife, calmly and confidently. βYouβve got to carry,β he said, βitβs brutal round here.β I was in North Ormesby, one of the townβs most deprived areas and, as the knife moved in his hand, his three friends laughed. One asked if I wanted to see an βeven bigger thingβ. All of them agreed they were prepared to stab other dealers. They said they were 18, all wore balaclavas, and I had no reason to doubt any of them.

Seemingly random assaults in Britain and other parts of Europe are coming from left and right
The response of Mette Frederiksen, Denmarkβs centre-left prime minister, to being physically assaulted in a Copenhagen street was dignified and very human. βIβm not doing great, and Iβm not really myself yet,β she admitted last week. The attack, in which she escaped serious injury, had left her feeling shocked and intimidated, she said.
Frederiksen suggested her experience was the culmination of some broadly familiar trends: proliferating social media threats, increasingly aggressive political discourse, a divisive Middle East war. βAs a human being, it feels like an attack on me. But I have no doubt it was the prime minister that was hit. In this way, it becomes a kind of attack on all of us.β

Admit it: you have listened to so many true crime podcasts that you think you could solve a murder.
That was how I felt, anyway. Several years ago, when true crime was at its peak, I developed a severe case of an affliction blighting millennial women around the world: amateur detective syndrome. I had immersed myself in so many murder mysteries that I figured it couldnβt be that hard to investigate one. I have written about the ethics of true crime, but I didnβt think much about the ethics of my decision to embark on a true crime crusade. I just wanted to find a juicy story.

Two boys found guilty of killing in Wolverhampton are UKβs youngest convicted murderers for more than 30 years
