Jo Cox MP death: David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn unite in tributesDavid Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn have united to condemn the killing of MP Jo Cox as an "attack on democracy".Speaking alongside the prime minister in Mrs Cox's West Yorkshire constituency, Labour leader Mr Corbyn said Parliament would be recalled on Monday, and labelled the attack "an act of hatred".Mrs Cox, 41, was shot and stabbed in the street as she headed to a scheduled constituency surgery on Thursday.A 52-year-old man has been arrested.The visit came as the Conservatives, Lib Dems and UKIP all announced they would not contest the by-election resulting from her death.Vote Leave and Remain have both suspended campaigning in the EU referendum in light of the attack.

Quote... as the Conservatives, Lib Dems and UKIP all announced they would not contest the by-election resulting from her death.Vote Leave and Remain have both suspended campaigning in the EU referendum in light of the attack.What am I missing here? Why has the act of a nutter resulted in these two announcements?What, the seat will never, ever be contested again?And, what's the link to the Euro Referendum, which we've repeatedly been told is "the biggest decision we'll make in our lives" Allegedly_we have the capacity to wreck world economies, and start new world wars.Except now, it's no longer that important anyway. Apparently.
