The Killing of Jo Cox: A Decade On

The Killing of Jo Cox: A Decade On

Ten years on from the murder of MP Jo Cox, we return to Batley and Spen to hear from the people who knew her best — and those who were there on the day she was attacked in Birstall. Jo’s sister Kim Leadbeater reflects on grief, family, and why she eventually decided to enter Parliament herself. Friends, colleagues and local reporters describe the shock of 2016, the tense political backdrop, and the community’s response. We also ask what’s changed since: the legacy Jo left behind, the Great Get Together, and the ongoing questions around the safety of politicians — especially in an age of online abuse and escalating threats.
