| Mr Corbyn said he had asked for Parliament to be recalled to enable politicians to pay tribute to the Labour MP "on behalf of everybody in this country who values democracy... free from the kind of brutality that Jo suffered." | |
| He added: "Jo was an exceptional, wonderful, very talented woman, taken from us in her early 40s when she had so much to give and so much of her life ahead of her. | |
| "It's a tragedy beyond tragedy what happened yesterday. | |
| "In her memory, we will not allow those people that spread hatred and poison to divide our society, we will strengthen our democracy, strengthen our free speech." | |
