One year ago today Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered in her Constituency.
In her memory the Jo Cox Foundation has been established to support Jo's friends, family and colleagues in their efforts to continue her work and to highlight the issues she cared about so deeply – from the plight of innocent civilians in Syria to the despair caused by loneliness and social isolation in the UK.
The Labour Party's Jo Cox Women in Leadership Programme is run in her memory. The programme will bring forward a generation of women who can continue the fight for Labour values in parliament, local government and in their communities.
From Jo's maiden speech in the House of Commons on 3rd June 2015;
"Our communities have been deeply enhanced by immigration, be it of Irish Catholics across the constituency or of Muslims from Gujarat in India or from Pakistan, principally from Kashmir. While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.”
Brendan Cox, Jo's Husband "An act designed to drive communities apart has instead brought them together, an act designed to silence a voice has instead allowed millions of others to hear it. Although she is dead, the opinions and values she held so dear will live on."
We will continue to work in her memory.

A note to say thank you for your support and help during the campaign. You have no doubt seen the result of the significant increase in the Labour vote, both nationally and locally. We remain the second Party in Maidenhead for the second general election, which is something to build on.
Many thanks
Nigel Smith
Election Agent
Results from adjacent seats have been positive with Labour retaining Slough with an increased majority, winning Reading East from the Tories and increasing our share of the vote in all the others. A special mention to Peter Shearman in Windsor(+9.5%) and ex Maidenhead member Fiona Dent in Runnymead & Weybridge(+10.4%). Anneliese Dodds won Oxford East with an increased majority so now a Labour MP and no longer our South East MEP.
