Murdered MP Jo Cox would be deeply concerned by divisions in UK, says sister

Murdered MP Jo Cox would have been “deeply concerned” at the current divisions in UK society but would not have shied away from the challenge of uniting people, her sister has said a decade on from the killing.

Kim Leadbeater described the 10th anniversary of her “wonderful” sister’s murder at the hands of a neo-Nazi in 2016 as a “moment in time” to urge political leaders especially not to “push people towards the extremes”.

She said it is crucial to “push back on the divisive rhetoric and the dangerous language” but declined to name names, saying she did not want to give “bad behaviour oxygen”.
