The former Labour MP Joan Walley has described Jo Cox as "a truly special and compassionate woman who totally believed in public service" with a young family and a whole life in politics ahead of her.

Ms Walley, who had worked with Jo Cox in the House of Commons, was live on PM on Radio 4 when the news of her colleague's death was announced.
