Following the death of Labour MP Jo Cox, both Leave and Remain have suspended their campaigning in the EU referendum.

Special episodes of Question Time and This Week have also been cancelled, the BBC announced. Newsnight will not air its usual broadcast from the “Referendum truck” – scheduled for Chipping Norton – and instead host Kirsty Wark will head to Leeds.
