Leeds MP was shot, stabbed and kicked on the floor outside her constituency office this afternoon.
If MPs need defeating, we do it with democracy, rule of law, debate, facts.
NOT f**king GUNS, KNIVES AND FEET.

Well, my twitter is too, but people will give these morons airtime by retweeting their bile.

That's awful. I don't know anything about her or her politics, or the reasons for her murder, but whatever they are, they're completely unjustified. As is the online bile Pista mentioned.

It will be mistake to ignore 101 of forensic science. The answer to that is who actually did it. There is a plenty of psychos to be used from those who actually lie behind. That makes it sicker as act and i mean the other behind the arrested one.

I know that it policy, and behind politics very often stands business, but I have never ever sniffed coke and never I was fan of Micheal Moore's movie.

Terrible ... we had a similar case in Cologne when a canditate in the mayoral election got stabbed during a pre-election event, recently.
She survived. There will always be people who think that violence were a solution and killing others would bring them at least a bit of attention.
RIP, Jo Cox ... perhaps I met her once at a charity shop in Leeds, but maybe not. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I knew her or not ...
my thoughts are with her family and friends and, above all, with her children ...
...

Yes.
I've offered my condolences via a few routes. I'd go to our constituency vigil tonight if I could.
Compassion first, politics later. Lots of people have forgotten that.

a very sad state of affairs, especially with regard to how social media is treating this. to be honest, i'm sick to death of twitter at the minute.
condolences to her family.
