Nosheen Iqbal

From The Guardian, I'm Nosheen Iqbal.

Today in Focus, remembering the MP Joe Cox.

Kim Ledbetter, you are Labour MP for Spen Valley in Yorkshire, which you've represented since 2021.

It is a constituency that your sister held, technically, when it was Batley and Spen.

Can we go back a bit and find out more about who Jo was and specifically, you know, what she was like as a child and what kind of big sister she was to you?

Do you remember the last time you spoke to her and what you guys talked about?

Kim, it's difficult to recall that sort of exact chronology of that period of the Brexit campaign, and it has been 10 years, but what do you remember about what things were like when it all kicked off and how involved Jo was in that Remain campaign?

Within families as well.

Kim, Jo's murder was obviously shocking.

And after her death, there was this cross-party call for a calm and kinder politics.

However, the very next day after she'd been killed, the Leave campaign launched this widely condemned poster.

I don't know if you remember the one that showed this line of brown men with the words breaking point and a photo of Nigel Farage imposed at the front demanding we take back control of our borders.

How did you process what was happening in the week leading up to that Brexit vote?

I mean, facts sort of went out of the window at that time.

Experts were completely derided.

And that's just got worse.

Were you shocked by the result?

How did you feel when it came in?

Kim, you had a whole other life outside of politics.

You joined late by anyone's standards, as it were, but why?
