There've been tributes in Westminster for the MP fatally stabbed and shot on the roadside in her electorate.

Jo Cox was pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital last week.

Roses have been laid on her seat in the House of Commons.

And her Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn called for nicer, and kinder politics.

"Jo's life was a demonstration against despair and in her tragic death, we can come together to change our politics, to tolerate a little more and condemn a little less."

And David Cameron has reminded MPs it would've been Jo Cox's 42nd birthday tomorrow.

"We pay tribute to a loving, determined, passionate and progressive politician who epitomised the best of humanity and who proved so often the power of politics to make our world a better place."
