Jo Cox’s sister shares safety fears after abuse over assisted dying bill

Jo Cox’s sister, the Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, has told Times Radio the abuse she has received over the assisted dying bill “doesn’t leave you feeling necessarily safe as you might want.”

Ms Leadbeater, who is currently bringing forward the bill, was asked if she fears more for her safety following the criticism she’s received for the controversial proposed legislation.

She replied: “Safety, as I said, and security is on your mind every day in this job… unfortunately, some of the abuse has been particularly unpleasant.”
