A Labour MP has died after she was shot three times and repeatedly stabbed in a shocking attack as she arrived at her constituency surgery. Mother-of-two Jo Cox, 41, was airlifted to hospital after a gunman opened fire on her in Birstall near Leeds.
Witnesses said the man was at the office before she arrived and shot her three times, once in the head, before stabbing her as she lay on the ground. Her husband Brendan tweeted a photo of his wife two hours after she died from catastrophic injuries. He later urged people to 'fight against the hatred that killed her.' In a statement, he said: 'Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo. 'Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.
'She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.
'Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.' A 53-year-old - named locally as 'loner' Tommy Mair - has been arrested by police and his house is currently being searched by forensic experts.

Last I read, she intervened in a fight between two men. If so, she was not a political target.
Murder is a hate crime.
I guess white, conservative, Christian, ex-US military, gun owner, republican voter, lives in the South, etc. is going to be blamed for this. Just like Obama’s muslim brother in love murdered the 49 in Orlando. Blame Americans for the shooting murders by a ISIS muslim murdering thug. I don’t give a rats tit where he was born, he is a muslim from muslim countries.
Has the UK’s Conservative Party been moving to the Left as quickly as America’s Republican Party has been? Will UKIP survive the blatant fraud committed against it in the last election? Do you think Cameron is being sincere with regards to the refugees and Brexit, given that he has a penchant for working closely with Soetoro?
“They are going to turn her funeral into one big “Remain” Rally.”
With that Cheese-log Cameron in Office(PM), Can’t you just see that coming a mile off.
Since the 2015 General Election, when the Conservative Party was freed from the braking effect of its coalition partner the LibDems, the party has actually moved sharply rightwards, as is evident from a number of mainly domestic policy changes. Previously, in the years following Blair’s 1997 landslide win with ‘New Labour’, the Tories had tried to compete with Blairism on its own ground by moving to the centre. This left no true right and no true left in British parliamentary politics. That’s changed radically in the last year, with the Tories swinging back to the right and Labour back to the left under Corbyn.
I can’t answer your other two questions, since I’ve never heard of the fraud you mention, and I know nothing of Soetero.
Thank you for an intelligent post. Most of us have little knowledge of party politics abroad.
The market is a discounting machine. Obviously the odds of Brexit were diminished when the news of her attack and then death.
