Handout photo issued by The Jo Cox Way of Jo Cox’s parents, Jean and Gordon Leadbeater, and her sister Kim Leadbeater MP, with cyclists at the start of the annual 290-mile Jo Cox memorial bike ride. The 11th Jo Cox Way event aims to keep alive the legacy of the Batley and Spen Labour MP - who was killed by a far-right terrorist in June 2016 - by championing the causes she was passionate about. Organisers of this year’s event have said it is all the more poignant following the 10th anniversary of the tragedy.
