On this day 10 years ago, MP Jo Cox was murdered by a neo-Nazi in her Batley and Spen constituency. Today, her message that we have "far more in common than that which divides us" is needed more than ever.

Those who most loudly assert their patriotism are always the first to sell us down the river. Both Johnson and Nigel Farage were in active discussions with Bannon, for whom Brexit was a major prize. Bannon was feeding intelligence back to Epstein, who also wanted the UK out of the European Union.
