Kim Leadbeater said Mrs Cox's killer Thomas Mair, 53, had committed an "act of extreme cowardice" and the 41-year-old MP's death has had a "ripple effect".

Speaking outside the Old Bailey after Mair was given a whole-life sentence, Ms Leadbeater thanked those who witnessed the attack in Birstall on 16 June for their actions.

Ms Leadbeater said: "Jo would have been extremely impressed, although not at all surprised, by the courage of her staff and constituents during this process and, indeed, on 16 June.

"There may have been one act of extreme cowardice on that day but there were many acts of bravery."

He said: "We want to concentrate on the good things that can come out of this. Jo was so positive and changed so many lives.

"We want to make sure that's the thing that's remembered, not the guy that did it. We're getting back to a normality but we'll never forget Jo. That's what we promised.

"Everybody always says that kind of thing doesn't happen round here but it did and we had to deal with it and there was an incredible outpouring of grief," he added.

I'm in Birstall this afternoon as local residents react to the news that Thomas Mair has been given a whole-life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of Jo Cox MP.

Kevin, from Birstall, tells me: "It's too good for him to be locked up forever, but that's just the justice system for you."

Kevin goes on to add: "My sister went to school with her and knows her family. The knock-on effect is just massive, it's affected many lives.

"Jo Cox was well-liked and respected. Death impacts people for years and years, but there's an even wider impact if you're a prominent person who helped many people".

The jury at the Old Bailey during the trial of Thomas Mair, who's been found guilty of murdering Jo Cox, was shown CCTV video of Mair as he walked off after stabbing and shooting the Batley and Spen Labour MP in Birstall in June:

Mair was given a whole-life sentence after his trial at the Old Bailey which lasted a week and a half.

The conviction of MP Jo Cox's murderer "closes a sad chapter" in the lives of those in her former constituency, friends and colleagues have said.

Speaking outside the Old Bailey after Thomas Mair was found guilty of the murder of his wife Jo Cox, Brendan Cox said: "A few weeks ago Jo was taken from us and our lives collapsed. To the world, Jo was a member of parliament, a campaigner, an activist and many other things.

"But first and foremost she was a sister, a daughter, an auntie, a wife, and above all a mum to two young children who love her with all their being. 

"All their lives they have been enveloped in her love, excited by her energy and inspired by her example. We try now not to focus on how unlucky we were to have her taken from us, but how lucky we were to have her in our lives for so long." 

Mr Cox extended his thanks to well-wishers, adding: "This has been Britain at its best - compassionate, courageous and kind. It's given us great strength and solace."
