Memorial to Cox in the days after her death, Parliament Square, London

Jo Coxwas elected to represent the parliamentary constituencyBatley and Spenat the2015 general election,having spent several years working for the international humanitarian charityOxfam.[4][5]She was married and had two young children.[6]

On 16 June 2016, Cox was on her way to meet constituents at a routinesurgeryinBirstall, West Yorkshire,when Thomas Mair shot her twice in the head and once in the chest with a modified.22 hunting rifle then stabbed her fifteen times outside a library on Market Street.[7][8][9]Cox died of her injuries shortly after being admitted toLeeds General Infirmary.She was 41 years old.[10][11]

The retiredmines rescuerBernard Carter-Kenny, 77, was also stabbed when coming to Cox's aid;[8][12][13][14][15]he was subsequently awarded theGeorge Medalfor his bravery.[16][17]Another witness followed Mair and identified him to police.[18]Mair was arrested about a mile from the murder scene unarmed[19]by police constables Craig Nicholls and Jonathan Wright, who were later awarded theQueen's Gallantry Medal.[20][21]

Perpetrator

edit

The perpetrator was Thomas Alexander Mair, a 53-year-old unemployed gardener born in Scotland.[22]Mair had mental health problems,[23][24]though he was declared sane in the moment of the crime.[1]He believed individuals ofliberaland left-wing political viewpoints, and themainstream media,were the cause of the world's problems.[24]Writers atThe Guardiansuggested that he targeted Cox, a "passionate defender" of theEuropean Unionand immigration, because he saw her as "one of 'the collaborators' [and] a traitor" towhite people.[24]

Mair had links to British and American far-right political groups including theneo-fascistNational Front,the United States-based neo-Nazi organisationNational Vanguard(the successor to the defunctNational Alliance) and theEnglish Defence League;he had attended far-right gatherings and purchased publications from the National Vanguard and other outlets,[24][25][26][27]to some of which he had sent letters and expressed support for South Africanapartheid.[28][29][24]

In his home were found Nazi regalia, far-right books,[22][30]and information on the construction of bombs.[24][27]He had searched the internet for information about theBritish National Party,South African apartheid, theKu Klux Klan,prominent Jewish people,matricide,[22][30]white supremacy/nationalism,Nazism/Nazi Party,SS/Waffen SS,Israel,mass shootings,serial killers,Frazier Glenn Miller Jr.,William Hague,Ian Gow(another assassinated MP),[24]and Norwegian far-right terroristAnders Behring Breivik(about whose case he collected newspaper clippings). He also ownedNazi iconographyand books and films related to the Nazis.[31]A police official described Mair as a "loner in the truest sense of the word... who never held down a job, never had a girlfriend [and] never [had] any friends ".[24]The Guardiansaid that he "appears to have fantasised about killing a 'collaborator' for more than 17 years, drawing inspiration fromDavid Copeland".[24]

The evening before killing Cox, Mair visited a treatment centre in Birstall seeking help for depression; he was told to return the next day for an appointment.[32]Mair's health was not part of the defence case in the trial.[33]After his arrest, he was examined by apsychiatristwho found no evidence that Mair's mental health was so impaired that he could not be held responsible for his conduct.[24]

In October 2020, a press report stated thatWest Yorkshire Police's Homicide and Major Enquiries Team continued to investigate how he acquired the weapon used, which remains a mystery. The lack of communication on Mair's phone was described by Detective Chief Inspector Nick Wallen, who led the investigation into Mair, as not indicating someone who was "immersed in criminality". A West Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: "A lengthy investigation was carried out to try and establish how Thomas Mair acquired this firearm. All lines of enquiry have for the time being been exhausted, but the investigation will be revisited if further information comes to light."[34]

Trial, conviction and sentence

edit

On 18 June 2016, asked to confirm his name inWestminster Magistrates' Court,Mair said, "My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain." His lawyers said there was no indication of how he would plead. Mair was remanded in custody and the magistrate suggested he be seen by a psychiatrist.[8][35]

At a bail hearing on 20 June, the judge remanded Mair in custody until a hearing to be held "underterrorism-related protocols".[36][37]At the next hearing on 23 June, the judge said the case would be handled as part of "the terrorism case management list", on which cases related to terrorism as defined by theTerrorism Act 2000are placed.[38]At a September 2016 hearing, Mair's counsel said they would not advance adiminished responsibilityargument.[39]At another hearing the following month, Mair—again appearing by video link—refused to enter a plea; the judge entered not-guilty pleas on his behalf.[39][40]

Mair's trial began at theOld Baileyon 14 November 2016.[41]He made no attempt to defend himself.[22]Witnesses testified that during the attack, Mair had cried out "This is for Britain", "keep Britain independent", and "Britain first".[22][42][43][44]On 23 November 2016, the jury took about 90 minutes[22]to convict Mair of Cox's murder,grievous bodily harmagainst Bernard Carter-Kenny, possession of a firearm with intent, and possession of a dagger.[22][45]The same day, Mair was sentenced to life imprisonment; the judge said he had no doubt Mair murdered Cox to advance political, racial, and ideological causes of violent white supremacism and exclusive nationalism most associated withNazismand its modern forms. This made the case exceptionally serious; accordingly the judge imposed awhole life term,meaning Mair will never be eligible for parole.[3]As confirmed by theCrown Prosecution Service,Mair's conviction for a crime amounting to a terrorism offence also means he is officially classed as a terrorist by the United Kingdom.[46]

Reaction

Cox's funeral was held in her constituency on 15 July and thousands of people paid their respects as the cortège passed.[47]

Cox's memorial atParliament Squarein London on 17 June 2016

Cox's husband Brendan issued a statement on 16 June, the day of her death, which said:

Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo. Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people. She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous. Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.[48]

The statement was described byLabour leaderJeremy Corbynas "one of the most moving statements I've ever heard from somebody so recently bereaved".[49]In a later interview, broadcast by the BBC on 21 June, Brendan Cox said of his wife:

She was a politician and she had very strong political views and I believe she was killed because of those views... I think she died because of them and she would want to stand up for those in death as much as she did in life.[50]

Following the death, Union Flags on British public buildings, including thePalace of Westminster,Buckingham Palace,and10 Downing Street,were flown athalf mast.[51]It was announced thatthe Queenwould write a private letter of condolence to Cox's widower.[52]The counting of votes in theTooting by-electionheld on the day Cox died, was halted for atwo-minute silence.[53]

A vigil held in remembrance outsideBath Abbey,one of the many that were held around Britain

Corbyn stated, "The whole of the Labour Party and Labour family – and indeed the whole country – will be in shock at the horrific murder of Jo Cox today" and paid tribute to a "wonderful woman".[54]A vigil attended by senior Labour Party politicians, including Corbyn, was held inParliament Square.First Minister of ScotlandNicola Sturgeondescribed the news as "utterly shocking and tragic news, which has left everyone stunned".[55]Chief Minister of GibraltarFabian Picardostated, "This is a truly appalling attack on a serving MP working hard to serve her community. This horrific act is an attack on democracy and the British freedoms that Jo Cox worked so diligently and passionately to defend."[56]Rosena Allin-Khan,who won the Tooting by-election for Labour, used her victory speech to pay tribute to Cox, saying, "Jo's death reminds us that our democracy is precious but fragile. We must never forget to cherish it."[53]One day after the attack, Corbyn and Prime MinisterDavid Cameronvisited Birstall, where they joined locals to lay floral tributes to Cox.[57]Cameron said:

The most profound thing that has happened is that two children have lost their mother, a loving husband has lost a loving wife, and parliament has lost one of its most passionate and brilliant campaigners, someone who epitomised the fact that politics is about serving others.[58]

Veteran Labour politicianNeil Kinnock,whose wifeGlenyshad supported Cox's candidacy and whose sonStephenshared an office with her, described the family's grief in a BBC television interview.[59]Writing for theFinancial Times,Sarah Brown,who worked with Cox on a campaign to reduce the number ofdeaths in pregnancy and childbirth,said, "Jo's life testified to her view that tolerance is not enough. We must tackle the causes of prejudice and discrimination, teach ourselves how to treat others equally and do far more to help those most in need."[60]Cox was remembered at church services held on Sunday 19 June, including one held atSt Peter's Church, Birstall,where Rev. Paul Knight described her as a "fervent advocate for the poor and the oppressed".[61]

On 17 June, friends of Cox established a fund in her memory. Proceeds were to be split between three non-profit groups; anti-extremist groupHope not Hate,Royal Voluntary Servicethat benefits the elderly, and the Syrian volunteer search-and-rescue groupWhite Helmets.The fund raised over £500,000 in one day,[62]and £1 million had been raised by 20 June.[63]Significant donations to the Jo Cox Fund included an award of £375,000 that was raised from fines resulting from theLibor banking scandal.[64]Proceeds from a cover version of the 1979Bette Midlersong "The Rose",recorded and released by Batley Community Choir, also benefited the fund.[65]Friends organised "More in Common – Celebrating the life of Jo Cox", a public event in her remembrance held inTrafalgar Square,London, on 22 June – the date of her 42nd birthday.[61]The event saw Cox's family transported on a memorial boat laden with floral tributes along theRiver ThamestoWestminster,where crowds listened to speakers including Brendan Cox,Malala Yousafzai,Bono,Bill NighyandGillian Anderson.[66]

Similar events took place around the world, including Batley and Spen, Auckland, Paris, Washington D.C., and Buenos Aires.[67][68]

On 20 June, Oxfam announced it would releaseStand As One – Live at Glastonbury 2016,an album of live performances from the2016 Glastonbury Festival,in memory of Cox.

Parliament wasrecalledon Monday 20 June to allow MPs to pay tribute to Cox.[72]In a break from convention (under which MPs sit grouped together byparty), MPs considered whether to sit together on a non-party basis for the memorial sitting, a suggestion made by Conservative MPJason McCartney.[73][74]Only a few MPs chose to do so, however.[75]Following the sitting of Parliament, MPs and others attended a memorial service at nearbySt Margaret's Church.[76] On 20 June a petition was created calling for Bernard Carter-Kenny, who had intervened in the attack, to be awarded theGeorge Cross.[77]He was awarded theGeorge Medalin the2017 Birthday Honours.[78][79]Carter-Kenny died of cancer on 14 August 2017.[80][81]

International

edit

Senior politicians around the world paid tribute to Cox and expressed shock at her death. United States PresidentBarack Obamatelephoned Cox's husband to offer condolences on behalf of the American people,[95]and invited the family to meet him at theWhite House.The meeting took place in September after Brendan Cox attended a refugee summit in New York.[96]FormerU.S. RepresentativeGabby Giffordsof Arizona, who was seriously injured in ashooting in 2011,stated she was "absolutely sickened to hear of the assassination of Jo Cox. She was young, courageous, and hardworking. A rising star, mother, and wife."[97][98]Several European leaders expressed their shock at the news, among them German ChancellorAngela Merkel,who described the attack as "terrible" and called for a moderation of language to counter radicalisation and to foster respect.[99]Overseas politicians who knew Cox personally included New Zealand Labour MPPhil Twyford,who said, "Jo will be sorely missed by her family, her friends, UK politics and the internationalLabour movement".[100]

In the Canadian House of Commons,NDPMPNathan Cullen,who had known Cox for several years, described her in an emotional tribute as "a dedicated Labour MP and a long advocate of human rights in Britain and around the world".[101]Numerous other tributes were paid to Cox, including those by public figures in Australia,[102]Canada,[101][103]Czech Republic,[104]Finland,[105]France,[55] Greece,[106]Ireland,[106][107]Italy,[99]Netherlands,[108]New Zealand,[100][109][110]thePLO,[111]Spain,[56]Sweden[112]and the United States.[113][114]

The nomination gained the support of twenty of her fellow MPs and about twelve high-profile personalities includingGeorge Clooney,Daniel Craig,Chris MartinandMichael Palin.The nomination was also supported by members of Canada'sNew Democratic Party,who urgedStéphane Dion,the country's Foreign Affairs Minister, to give his backing on behalf of Canada.[116][117]

Reactions to Mair's conviction

edit

In a statement to the BBC following the conviction of Mair, Cox's widower Brendan said he felt only pity for Mair and expressed hope "that Jo's death will have meaning" in persuading people "that we hold more in common than that which divides us".[120]

InThe Times,David Aaronovitchasked why "some people – all of them pro-Brexit as it happens" were "so keen to dismiss the first (and accurate) reports of Mair's words?", claiming such people "resisted because deep down they feared that aspects of the language or direction of theBrexit campaignthey legitimately supported had emboldened extremism. While they themselves were in no way permissive of the act, might they in some way have been permissive of the motive? Or even of the mood? ". In his article, Aaronovitch cited official Home Office figures showing a rise in race-hate crime.[121]

Only two British newspapers did not feature a picture of Cox on their front pages as her murderer was arrested: theFinancial Times,which focused on the first autumn statement from theChancellor of the Exchequer,Philip Hammond;and theDaily Mail.TheMailwas criticised for its focus on Mair's mental health and thoughts ofmatricideinstead of his extremist political motivations.[122]Owen Jonestweeted,"The coverage ofMichael Adebowale– one of Lee Rigby's killers – did not focus on his history of mental illness. It focused on his ideology. "[123]In its print edition, theMailplaced its coverage of Mair's conviction on page 30, which promptedLBCradio presenterJames O'Briento accuse the paper of double standards, saying theMail"has chosen to put the murder by a neo-Nazi of a serving British MP... on page 30. I don't really understand why. Unless a murder by a neo-Nazi is less offensive to the sensibilities of the editor of this newspaper than a murder by a radical Islamist."[124][125]The focus theMailgave to theconspiracy theorythat Mair "may have murdered MP Jo Cox because he feared losing his home of 40 years to an immigrant family" led to the paper being accused by Jane Matrinson inThe Guardianofnormalisinganti-immigrantprejudice, which she saw as a factor in Cox's murder.[122]

It has been noted that the views held by Mair - including anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiment - are part of mainstream British political discourse. By describing the murder in the context of Nazism, the judge separated the sentiments from modern political discourse, giving a "free pass" to contemporary extremist groups, public figures and press whose rhetoric were likely to have influenced Mair.[126]

Aftermath

edit

Cox's death was the first killing of a sitting British MP sinceEastbourneMPIan Gowwas killed by theProvisional Irish Republican Armyin 1990,[127][128][129]and the first serious assault sinceStephen Timmswas stabbed byRoshonara Choudhryin an attempted assassination in 2010.[130][131]Another example of an attack on an MP while carrying out constituency duties was the attack onNigel Jonesin 2000, resulting in the death of his assistant, local councillorAndrew Pennington.[132]

Many MPs went ahead with planned constituency surgeries scheduled on the day after Cox's death with increased security.[133]A spokeswoman for theNational Police Chiefs' Councilsaid police forces had been asked to remind MPs to be vigilant about their personal safety; it said, "Officers will offer further guidance and advice where an MP requests it on a case-by-case basis depending on any specific threat or risk".[134]Theparty whips' offices urged MPs to discuss security measures with their local police forces.[133]

In July 2016, Kevin McKeever, a Labour politician and partner inPortland Communications– a public relations firm accused of playing an instrumental role in anattempt to force the resignation of Jeremy Corbyn– received an alleged death threat telling him he should "prepare to be coxed".[135]Commenting on the incident, and other threats MPs had received, Ruth Price, Cox's parliamentary assistant, urged people to "move away from the baseless, nasty and intimidating abuse MPs currently face".[136]

Cox's murder was also explicitly referenced in the social media posts of a man who was jailed for four months in April 2017 for making death threats towards the then-MP for EastbourneCaroline Ansellof theConservativeparty.[137]Two months after the death of Cox, at least 25 MPs received identical death threats, including the Labour MPChris Bryant.Bryant said the threats were "particularly disturbing... [in] that a lot of these threats are to women. I think women MPs, gay MPs, ethnic minority MPs get the brunt of it."[138]

At the time of Cox's death, MPs wishing to make additional security arrangements were required to apply to theIndependent Parliamentary Standards Authority(IPSA), the watchdog overseeing their expenses. On 20 July, the House of Commons Estimates Committee voted to strip IPSA of this responsibility amid concerns over the time-frame of the process.[139]MPs were offered training sessions inKrav Maga,a form of unarmed combat that combines judo,jujitsu,bo xing,andstreet fighting.The Yorkshire Postreported that the first session, held in early August, was attended by two MPs and eighteen assistants.[140]

Cox's murder took place a week before the2016 European Union membership referendum.The rival official campaigns suspended their activities as a mark of respect.[141]David Cameron cancelled a planned rally inGibraltarsupporting British EU membership.[142]Campaigning resumed on Sunday 19 June.[143][144]Polling officials in theYorkshire and Humber regionhalted the counting of referendum ballots on the evening of 23 June to observe a minute's silence.[145]Thereferendumresulted in a vote in favour of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.

The2017 general electioncampaign was suspended for an hour on 21 May 2017, as politicians held a truce in memory of Cox ahead of the vote.[146]

Following Cox's murder, the Conservative Party,Liberal Democrats,UK Independence Party(UKIP), and theGreen Partyannounced they would not contest the ensuingby-electionin her constituency as a mark of respect;[147]Brendan Cox also ruled out standing for the seat.[148]Tracy Brabinwas chosen as Labour's candidate on 23 September,[149]and elected to the seat on 20 October.[150]Nine other candidates contested the seat.[151]They included three candidates who stated their intention to stand before the election was confirmed. On 20 June, Jack Buckby, a former member of theBritish National Partyannounced he would be a candidate in the by-election forLiberty GB.[152]On 18 July, theEnglish Democratsannounced that their deputy chair, Therese Hirst, would also stand.[153]Although UKIP did not contest the seat, UKIP member Waqas Ali Khan announced on 6 August he would stand as an independent.[154]

In the days after Cox's death,Arron Banks,founder of theLeave.EUcampaign for Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, conducted private polling to determine whether the incident would affect the referendum's outcome. After disclosing the matter to LBC radio presenterIain Dale,he was challenged as to whether such a poll was tasteless. Banks rejected the suggestion, saying, "We were hoping to see what the effect of the event was. That is an interesting point of view, whether it would shift public opinion... I don't see it as very controversial."[155]Likewise,Gary Jonesof theMirrorpressurised political editor Nigel Nelson to write a front-pageMirrorstory on "the Jo effect", saying her death had swung support to Remain in a new opinion poll under the headline: "Tragic Jo's Death Sparks Poll Surge" despite only 192 of the 2,046 answersComResreceived being after the murder and that ComRes stating, "the figures should be treated with a degree of caution given the sample size".[156]

At a speech to theLondon School of Economicsin September 2016,Martin Schulz,thePresident of the European Parliament,said the "nasty" referendum debate was a contributing factor in Cox's death. The comments were swiftly criticised by some of Cox's colleagues, including leadingEuroscepticConservative politicianJacob Rees-Mogg,who described them as "trivialising" her death.[157]

Cox's killing has been likened to that of Swedish politicianAnna Lindhin 2003.[158]Lindh was stabbed to death shortly beforeSweden's referendum on joining the euro,which she supported. Campaigning was also suspended after her killing.[159]Swedish newspaperDagens Nyhetersaid, "Like Jo Cox, Anna Lindh was a young, successful politician, and both were the mothers of two children. Both were also participating in campaigns for the EU when they were murdered".[160]
