Our condolences to the family and friends of Jo Cox MP.

Posted on 16/06/2016 by Grahame Pigney

Given the horrific events in Birtsall, Yorkshire, I will leave it to Tim Farron, Lib-Dem Leader to sum up our feelings.

I am utterly heartbroken at the news of the death of Jo Cox. This is a devastating attack on our peaceful society. An attack on an elected representative is an attack on everyone.

She was outstanding representative who stood up for her community diligently. She also stood up for the desperate and those in need – I am proud of the stance she took raising the plight of refugees.

Her compassion for the voiceless and dispossessed absolutely shone through to me. She was a star of the 2015 intake and was inspiring to listen to.

A young family has lost a mum and a wife, a community has lost a great MP and Parliament has lost an authentic and passionate voice.

It seems the vile politics of hate has gone from the darkened corners of the internet to violence on our streets. Our country is poorer for this mindless slaughter.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and with all her colleagues in the Labour movement and throughout her community. We stand with you.
