Feel a bit sick at Jo’s name being used in this way. The best way to honour Jo is for all of us (no matter our views) to stand up for what we believe in, passionately and with determination. But never to demonise the other side and always hold onto what we have in common.

Thinking of everyone caught up in yet more pointless horror. It will achieve nothing, it will not change us, it will not defeat us.

Most people know @eddieizzard as a comedian, but I know him as someone who behind the scenes&with great personal kindness helped our family make good on Jo’s legacy. Week in week out- & very far from the spotlight- he puts in the hours standing up for the values that unite us.

#KTHopkins was an invention of media and social media companies who know that controversy drives engagement. They realised too late that they were trading in hate & that hate has consequences. Better late than never - but never would have been better.

The person who did this wants us to be fearful and divided- let's show them that we are neither #DefeatTerrorTogether

Thank you to the makers of #BrexitTheUncivilWar for treating Jo’s murder with respect. Please remember that while Jo was a passionate remainer she was far more committed to reminding us of what we have in common. Whatever happens now - that will be the most important mission.

One week ago today. While the news agenda has moved on, the families of Jack and Saskia will be stuck in time. Remembering them today and sending love.

This morning I remember the feeling the day after. The moment you remember as you wake, the disbelief, the agony, the complete absence of energy, the impotence to change anything, the hopelessness. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Unpopular opinion of the day: I think if I had been seriously ill with corona (as opposed to the mild version I had) I would have done anything to make sure my kids were safe and being looked after. I get the anger at the hypocrisy but I also get the human judgement they made.
