BARNSLEY MPs have told the Chronicle they won’t let the tragic death of MP Jo Cox and ‘unpredictable threats’ stop them from doing their job.
The Labour MP for Batley and Spen was shot and stabbed outside a library in Birstall last Thursday and later died in hospital. She was attacked as she made her way to an afternoon surgery session for residents.
Michael Dugher, MP for Barnsley East, said like so many others he was shocked and devastated by her death.
“Jo was an incredibly kind and selfless person who was killed for doing her job serving her local community,” he said.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
