Why did you choose to become an MP, especially given everything your family had also gone through?

How hard was that decision and what motivated it?

Oh, yeah.

That's so frightening given what you'd gone through, given what the family had gone through, given what the Jo Cox Foundation was calling for.

It seemed that all those lessons were, well, they just weren't learned in that by-election.

And you've talked before about how you've channeled so much of your energy into foundation.

And I wanted to know, how did it help with your loss and your grief?

And what is the purpose of the Jo Cox Foundation?

And then that was one of the many reasons that fueled him becoming who he was, I guess.

Now in his sentencing whole life tariff, the judge declared that it was an act of terrorism.

You've said to me before that the fact that Jo was murdered by a neo-Nazi with fascist right-wing views because of her basic beliefs is something that you think the family and yourself didn't talk about enough.

Why does it feel important to talk about now?

Coming up, did British politics learn anything from the murder of Joe Cox?

All of this now is in the public realm in a way that when the Leave campaign was being conducted, wasn't even remotely in the mainstream.

How do you feel, Kim, about the way politics has been conducted since Joe's death?

Looking back at that moment, it feels like something broke in British politics the day that

And I guess I hear what you're saying about the responsibility we all have to make public life better.
