Sturgeon shock at Cox death

NICOLA Sturgeon has spoken of the shock she felt at the murder of Jo Cox at an event celebrating the MP’s legacy. The First Minister addressed attendees at the tea party at Glasgow Women’s Library and urged people not to let the actions of a minority intent on sowing division demonise whole communities, and instead focus on unity. The tea party was one of more than 100,000 events taking place for the Great Get Together, organised by Jo Cox’s widower Brendan on the weekend of the anniversary of her death. Sturgeon said: “It was a horrible act, like so much else that happens in the world, and made us focus on the things that divide people rather than the things that bring us together.”
