Gofundme page set up in honour of Labour MP Jo Cox raises £320,000 in less than a day



A fundraising page launched following the tragic death of Labour MP Jo Cox has raised more than £300,000 in just 22 hours.

Donations have been pouring in on GoFundMe from those mourning the mother of two's death and the cash raised will go to three charities 'closest to her heart'. 

More than 10,000 people have donated and the figure exceeded the original target of £250,000 in around 18 hours. 

People began donating after the Batley and Spen MP, 41, was fatally shot and stabbed at lunchtime on Thursday June 16,2016 as she headed to a meeting with her constituents Birstall, near Leeds, West Yorkshire
