An MP has died after she was shot and stabbed in a "horrific" assault in her constituency, police have said.

Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested nearby.

One eyewitness told the BBC they heard her attacker shout "put Britain first" at least twice beforehand.

Tributes flooded in from politicians including David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Mrs Cox's husband Brendan said she would want people "to unite to fight against the hatred that killed her."

The guy who claimed he said that has retracted the claim and said he did not. Guy had a history of mental illness as well.

Reporting on facts, rather than politicizing (which I find to be kind of distasteful personally). That's what I'm trying to do here.

The man being held in connection with the death of MP Jo Cox has been named as Thomas Mair, who was described as a “loner” with a history of mental health problems who had previously subscribed to a far-right magazine.

Mair, 52, who was arrested by armed officers shortly after the attack, had spoken about receiving “psychotherapy and medication”, and was described by his younger brother as having “a history of mental illness”.

Despite being born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, a decade-old website posting identified Mair as a subscriber to S. A. Patriot, a South African magazine that was published by the pro-apartheid group, the White Rhino Club.

In 2011, Mair spoke of how he had volunteered to work as a groundsman at the nearby Oakwell Hall County Park, which had helped ease his mental health problems.

He told a local newspaper: "I can honestly say it has done me more good than all the psychotherapy and medication in the world. "Many people who suffer from mental illness are socially isolated and disconnected from society, feelings of worthlessness are also common mainly caused by long-term unemployment.

"All these problems are alleviated by doing voluntary work. Getting out of the house and meeting new people is a good thing, but more important in my view is doing physically demanding and useful labour.

then you would have no problem with me reporting the fact that he was a devoted white supremacist who hated multiculturalism just as much as you do and shouted the motto of the white nationalist BNP before killing this lady.

reporting on facts is what i'm trying to do here. not excuse and apologize for the actions of a white supremacist who hates multiculturalism as much as you do.

This is a terrible tragedy and not that it makes the slightest bit of differance to her family but i really hope it turns out this was just a lunatic who snapped rather than a politically driven murder in the name of brexit.

65 million people, less than 200 on average killed by a gun in the UK

320 million people, more than 33,000 on average killed by a gun in the US

What's the difference on that?

It was a simple question, requiring nothing more than a "yes" or "no" answer.

I received an e-mail from a gun-control addict who attacked the “bonkers idea” that the presence of more guns decreases violence. Forget the empirical studies provided by John Lott – a man who is probably biased by factual evidence – the e-mailer need only confront this question: why is it that whenever some social disruption occurs, scores upon scores of cops show up, armed with machine-guns? - Butler Shaffer
