    looking at the list most murdered were Conservative or UUP killed by the IRA.

    Jo Cox's case was unusual

    There was an attempted murder of an MP, Stephen Timms (Labour East Ham), in 2010 The woman convicted got a life sentence with 15 years minimum.

    (Sorry just hearing the roll call of MPs and their aides who got killed.)

    There's a good chance he will be - the last one who got done for this was given a whole life tariff (I was in court when he was sentenced in fact).

    I looked at his Wikipedia page, he was a good MP to his constituents and cared about others.

    A good man and a loss to democracy.

    (RIP from a Labour Party member).
