MP Jo Cox dies after being shot and stabbed in street

British Labour MP Jo Cox died yesterday after being shot and stabbed in the street outside her constituency advice surgery.

The mother of two was attacked by a man reportedly shouting “Britain first” at lunchtime in Birstall, West Yorkshire.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the country would be “in shock at the horrific murder” of the MP, who was a “much-loved colleague”.
