Tobias Ellwood MP

[TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap]

I've never voted Tory in my life but if I lived in Bournemouth East I would vote for him every time he stood for election. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45546867

Tobias Ellwood gave CPR to PC Palmer after he was stabbed by Khalid Masood on 22 March.

But a doctor eventually told Mr Elwood to stop and PC Palmer died.

After almost breaking down in court, the MP said: "I closed his eyes and I said 'I am sorry.'"

....
Mr Elwood - Conservative MP for Bournemouth East and a medically trained former Army officer - told the court he was in a meeting close by when the attack occurred.

He said he heard a crash followed by screams, adding: "These were not screams of pain... these were screams of shock."

After running through crowds of people with "panic in their eyes" and hearing shots fired, Mr Ellwood said he saw a number of police officers crouched near Carriage Gate - which leads to New Palace Yard, outside the Houses of Parliament - and PC Palmer and Masood on the floor.

He said the three officers helping PC Palmer looked like they needed assistance, so he ran towards them.

They told him he was risking his life because of the chance of a secondary attack, but the MP - whose brother died in the Bali attack in 2002 - told the court: "My brother was killed in a secondary attack... so I was very aware of that.

"I was concerned about what would happen if things were to ratchet up, but my immediate concern was that we had somebody who was clearly badly bleeding and needed assistance."

What a brave and caring man, also,the other member of the public who helped him, the sheer look of grief on his face just says how terrifying it must have been.

Yes, that photo says it all. He could easily have stayed away. All MPs were being ushered away into safety and he quite deliberately put himself into possible danger because he knew his skills would be useful. Humbling.

What he did that day is more than worthy of praise. But that doesn't make him a good MP. His voting record speaks for itself. He's a Tory through and through, he'll always vote in line with the whip unless it's to do with defence. He couldn't give a stuff about anybody else.

Agree bombardier fabulous sacrificial human but not a politician I could ever align with
