62 years ago today, JFK was assassinated in Dallas.
I was 16 & at a Young Conservative meeting, when we heard the news & were glued to the TV in shock.
I never imagined that decades later, as an MP, I’d stand in the Book Depository & look out from the window where the shots were allegedly fired.

Rupert Lowe is the latest calling for the return of capital punishment - however, it has no place in Britain. False allegations nearly destroyed my life & they ruin lives today. A fallible system cannot be trusted with irreversible punishment. Popular or not,it would put innocent people at risk.
