Nice! The Leave campaigners keep shooting themselves in the foot but still it's neck and neck.

Not wishing to ignore the seriousness and nastiness of that, I do hope she doesn't have Grandkids... I went to college with her

I agree he is brave and of course his pain and tears are genuine however I would question why a man from his background having just suffered as he has decided it was sensible to say what he said knowing that the media will now gloss over the reality that this was a madman and not at all representative in any way of other people who might disagree with what her political views are.

I did read this on another platform though which sort of ties into your part about the love aspect:

the Guardian headline, "Jo Cox's husband says she was killed because of her political views"

How could he know that? In fact he has no more idea than the rest of us. Instead he's using her murder as opportunity to paint 50% of the British people as being politically aligned with a crazed killer. This man served as adviser to Gordon Brown during the time when he was labelling citizens as 'bigots' for expressing concern about immigration. And if you're puzzled as to how he's got over his wife's death and has gone bandstanding for Bremain so quickly .... well just know that he left his £106K job at Save the Children last October following serious allegations of sexual harassment of women co-workers.

Classy.

Farage has pulled out of tonight's EU Referendum interview/discussion with Jeremy Paxman.

Just come out, an hour before the show was due to start. No reason circulating just yet.

He's realised his wife is not British and he's off to see his lawyer?

The Leave campaign are breathing a sigh of relief.....

A tad insensitive maybe. On the other hand; I wonder how much news coverage there will be of Jo Cox after tomorrow's vote. Back to normal I expect.

Surely you're not suggesting that the media is biased Brecon....

Paxman is anti EU...

Invasion imminent.

Turkey will not be a member of the EU any time soon...not in the next decade, and I'd be surprised if it happened in the next two decades. Talks are being dangled as a political carrot owing to the migrant situation, but Erdogan has, for all intents and purposes, killed the chances of Turkey getting into Schengen in the not-too-distant future.

He wanted to have dinner with his eldest son apparently..........

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

He'll of a line up, Selina Scott., Sandy Shaw....... To name just two.....

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Selina says she will never vote again if the leave party are not successful. Well Selina, you won't be voting again then. I voted out, but am convinced the remain vote will win. To many undecided, they will vote remain imho.

Paxman is anti EU...

He is pro Paxman ego before pro or anti anything else.
