The South Thanet Constituency Labour Party is shocked and devastated, as is the whole Labour family, by the tragic killing of Jo Cox. The loss of a such a humanitarian, such a dedicated constituency MP and such torch bearer for human rights and the most vulnerable in all our societies is a cruel blow to the Labour movement, to the causes she worked so hard for and for the wider world. Mostly, of course, this is a devastating theft of a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend to those who loved her the most and we wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Jo Cox worked for compassion, for tolerance and for mutual respect and understanding and we intend that those values continue to inform our thoughts and work going forward.
