Jo Cox's sister: PM needs to 'set the tone'
Kim Leadbeater, the sister of murdered MP Jo Cox, has told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live that she thinks Boris Johnson should "set that tone" when it comes to language.
Ms Cox, who supported Remain during the referendum campaign, died in 2016 after she was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire.
The prime minister has been urged to apologise after he said the best way to honour Jo Cox, the MP murdered during the EU referendum campaign, was to "get Brexit done". He dismissed one MP's intervention, in which she both criticised his use of language and mentioned the killing of Ms Cox, as "humbug".
Tory chairman James Cleverly called criticism of the PM "deeply unfair".
Speaking to Emma Barnett, Jo Cox's sister Kim Leadbeater said "to dismiss politicians fears as humbug.. that's not helpful".
