Jo Cox murder: Assault on our democracy

The Labour MP Jo Cox has died after being shot and stabbed in the street in her constituency in West Yorkshire.

A 52-year-old man has been arrested.

All campaigning ahead of the EU referendum has been suspended. David Cameron said Britain had lost "a great star."

James Landale assesses the impact of the murder on political discourse in the UK.
