Assassination of Charlie Kirk

That this House expresses its profound shock and sorrow at the assassination of 31 year old political commentator Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, who was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on 10 September 2025; condemns in the strongest terms this act of political violence; notes that Mr Kirk, whether members agree or disagree with his political positions, should be commended for debating ideas in the public square and encouraging young people to engage in respectful political debate; recognises the deep impact his death has had and will have on his family, including his wife Erika and their two young children, and on his supporters across the United States; further notes the growing concern over the escalation of political violence globally, including recent attacks on public figures across the ideological spectrum in the UK, United States, and elsewhere; calls for renewed international efforts to promote civil discourse, protect freedom of speech, and ensure the safety of political participants regardless of their views; and urges the Government to engage with its American counterparts to counter violent political extremism in all its forms.
