In a series of tweets, he paid tribute to an 'extraordinary' and 'compassionate' campaigning MP and urged people to drive out 'hatred', 'division' and 'intolerance'.
The death of Jo Cox is a tragedy. She was a committed and caring MP. My thoughts are with her husband Brendan and her two young children.

It's right that all campaigning has been stopped after the terrible attack on Jo Cox. I won't go ahead with tonight's rally in Gibraltar.
