Thank you to @GemmaLDillon from @BBCLeeds and @BBCPolitics for asking me to speak about my sister Jo ahead of the 10 year anniversary of her murder on 16th June 2016 #JoCox

A year on from when she died a solitary white rose blooms in my garden. Me and kids think it's Jo's white rose of Yorkshire.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Are you thinking of crossing the aisle? What if we told you there was an aisle in Westminster where you can be on both the left and the right at the same time?!

I wrote this on Jo’s anniversary about our loss, the threat to our politics and the role we can all play in building closer communities. This election it’s more important than ever. #GreatGetTogether thesun.co.uk/news/28538021/j…
Jo Cox’s optimism shines through in our kids – I hope it can shine through in politics too, says...

EIGHT years after Jo was killed, one of the hardest things is coming to terms with what she is missing. I feel myself welling up in parents’ evenings when the kids have been praised for being kind …

There have been very few days in Westminster in the last year where I didn't wish I could talk to her, garner her wisdom, roll our eyes together. #LoveLikeJo #MoreInCommon

But of course she’d be most gutted not to see what the kids have become. Their love, kindness & spirit of adventure- all of which they have inherited from her. We miss her everyday but cherish what we had & what we built together. Her work & her love continues #MoreInCommon

Sincere thanks to the many people who encouraged me to apply but I’m sorry to say I was unsuccessful in my bidding for the Dewsbury and Batley Parliamentary selection. As Parliament approaches dissolution I wish all @UKLabour candidates the very best of luck! -#voteLabour – at Dewsbury, England

Today is the 27th anniversary of the 1997 Labour Landslide that heralded the intro of the minimum wage, Surestart & the resurgence of the NHS. In a campaign never see the like of before by @UKLabour 1st woman & youngest ever General Secretary. So proud of her.

The murder of someone you love casts a long shadow over your whole life and the unimaginable pain never goes away. Difficult to believe it’s 7 years since my amazing sister was killed. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and my family #JoCox
