The Leader of the Commons, David Lidington, has made a plea for the UK to come together and turn its back on extremism, following the sentencing of the man who murdered the Labour MP, Jo Cox.

Thomas Mair, a right-wing extremist, has been sent to jail for the rest of his life. Evidence gathered by the police had shown him to be obsessed with the Nazis and ideas of white supremacy.

David Lidington urged people to "stand for the truth that it is through parliamentary democracy that we can seek to secure change" rather than through "violence or extremism."
