She was head of policy for Oxfam and was an advisor to Sarah Brown and Baroness Kinnock.[6] She was national chair of Labour Women's Network and a senior advisor to the Freedom Fund, an anti-slavery charity.[3][4]

Cox was one of 36 Labour MPs to nominate Jeremy Corbyn as a candidate in the Labour leadership election of 2015.[7] However, in the election she voted for the Blairite candidate Liz Kendall,[8] and announced in May 2016 that she regretted nominating Corbyn.

Not sure why the Guardian story is dated three hours ago on google news. Bit suss. www.theguardian.com...

Eyewitness Hithem Ben Abdallah, 56, was in the cafe next door to the library shortly after 1pm when he heard screaming and went outside.

He told the Press Association: “There was a guy who was being very brave and another guy with a white baseball cap who he was trying to control and the man in the baseball cap suddenly pulled a gun from his bag.”

After a brief scuffle, he said the man stepped back and the MP became involved.

He added: “He was fighting with her and wrestling with her and then the gun went off twice and then she fell between two cars and I came and saw her bleeding on the floor.”

Security services might of put a hold on it for a couple of hours in case it impacted any investigation.

They likely cleared it just now.

Idiot newsman just interrupted the football.

No, really though. This is particularly unusual for the UK. Bad, bad news.

What ya think...Love interests gone rogue or yer basic looney.??
I'll go with ex Lover who is a looney.

a reply to: Soloprotocol
Apparently individually targeted, so likely to be something about her politics that he dislikes. I wonder what her position has been on the referendum.

a reply to: Soloprotocol

Looney secret lover will probably go somewhere beautiful and remote then blow his brains out.

What if the gunman escapes? Don't go to Birstall. They'll be looking for a patsy.

Obviously, it's the NRA fault.

The Queen needs to enact tougher gun laws and ignore the NRA.

I know the Queen doesn't make the gun laws, but this just shows: a nutter is a nutter. They are in every country and there is nothing a government can do to stop them.

I give it about 2 hours before this gets tied to Brexit vote, somehow

weapon looked handmade

I'm gobsmacked.

Some witnesses at the scene are claiming that the man who shot Ms Cox shouted "Britain First".

Speaking to Sky News, he said the man walked very slowly away from the scene after the attack.

Walked slowly away like one of those mind controlled patsies.

Britain First

Have they really done her just to swing the vote away?

I missed that about May. We can only dream.
