Terrorist ? Brexit protest?
Worrying

Just had radio on which said she was shot at and stabbed. Regardless of motive, hope she isn't badly injured.

N.B MP is Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen

WTF. Terrible. Just awful.

Disgusting.

The Manchester Evening News live feed reports that the man shouted 'Britain First.'

Allegedly he shouted "Britain First" before he did it

But just awful, whatever the reason.

Appalling news. I hope her condition is not as bad as it sounds.

Beyond shocking if it was racially motivated

I lived in that area for 19 years. It's not a bad area, in fact a lot of it is middle class

Absolutely appalling. Apparently 2 men were arguing on the street, she intervened, one man pulled a gun and fired 2 or 3 shots, then stabbed her. Still unclear how many times she was shot but possibly twice. He then shouted "Britain First" or something like that. He has been arrested - 52 years old.

More right-wing violence from a coward willing to attack a woman for what looks like the simple reason that he disagrees with her politics.

Nothing like jumping to conclusions

Hard right Brexiter who shouted "Britain First"?

Let's just wait to get all the facts first. We should be more concerned for her welfare and her young family. Police update at 5pm.

I'm basing my comments on:
-- the fact that an MP is in a critical condition as a result of one or both of being shot and stabbed
-- several witnesses heard the perpetrator shout Britain First before committing the act

Do let us know when you deem it appropriate to arrive at a conclusion.

She has been campaigning to keep Britain in the EU but just because she differed from his views, no excuse whatsever for the loon who attacked her. Thoughts and prayers with her and her family.

And the man who was the first one to help her stated he heard no such thing. Therefore it's jumping to conclusions.

Better that we hope see pulls through and that he is in custody.
