- The Jo Cox Foundation is horrified to hear the news of the attack on Sir David Amess MP. We are thinking of him, his family and loved ones at this distressing time.
- Nigel Farage's speech today directly incited violence and abuse towards MPs. This language was deeply irresponsible, hateful and designed to divide. There is no 'us' and 'them'. When we seek to disunite, we damage only ourselves. #moreincommon #LoveLikeJo
- The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable. It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour. 🧵1/4
