has been set up to look at practical solutions to the problem in memory of the murdered labour mp, jo coxmmission when she was killed outside her constituency lastjune. our home editor, mark easton, reports. alone, in a crowd. in some senses we've never been more connected, but for millions, this is the age of loneliness. westminster today saw the launch of a campaign to recognise it and overcome it. the mpjo cox had started to set up a commission on loneliness before her murder last year. in her name, parliamentarians from all parties say they're keeping her legacy alive and her sister explained how she and jo experienced loneliness themselves. when jo went away to university it was a very difficult time for both of us and i think it would be fair to say that we both experienced loneliness. we would talk late at night about how much we missed each other. having been so very close all our young lives, it was very tough to be apart. loneliness affects people of all ages — new mums are particularly at risk, people like emma conway. there were moments where ijust felt terribly lonely because

we had brexit, jo cox's stabbing, so many difficult global occurrences, that we felt we wa nted globale felt we wanted to come together in solidarity and move forward in a positive way. so what is the message, then, over all that you we re message, then, over all that you were trying to send? obviously lots of different groups of people chose to turn up for their own reasons? very much so. i think we wanted to get people interested again in politics, involved in politics, from the grassroots, who wanted to send out the message that you can make a difference, get involved. but we also wanted to stand in solidarity together for across—the—board, religious groups coming together, different... just different cause is coming together to fight for unity, human rights, dignity and also safety. what difference will it make, though? he hasjust begun his presidency, he has at least four matters. what difference do you hope to make with one marked on one day? this is just the to make with one marked on one day? this isjust the beginning. we hope people will get active in their communities, take h

she makes reference to jo cox's terrible murder and how we need to be more united.reference to the fact that obviously brexit has to be complied with and we have to make it happen. we have got i55ues complied with and we have to make it happen. we have got issues with foreign governments, president trump in three weeks' time. she is basically saying that the only way we can deal with this is to be united. that's not just we can deal with this is to be united. that's notjust about the 5296, united. that's notjust about the 52%, but the 48% who didn't want to leave the european union. they have to be factored into any negotiations that take place. but it is clearly going to be a very challenging year, not that the last one wasn't challenging. she demonstrates here that if we don't get together on this and we don't think together, we don't plan, then ultimately we will be in don't plan, then ultimately we will beina don't plan, then ultimately we will be in a very sorry state and she wa nts be in a very sorry state and she wants us to remember that we are better united

ina labour mp jo cox.eirjob at also consider giving up theirjob at a time when more women are being encouraged to go into politics. how off—putting is that? our political correspondent has been finding out. it wasn‘t easy getting women the vote. it was even longer to get women into parliament. the first woman to take a seat, nancy astor, was elected 90 yea rs a seat, nancy astor, was elected 90 years ago. eventually, more would follow. gives me the greatest pleasure to introduce to use the new nationalist women members. then, of course, they didn‘t have social media, like the 195 female mps today. right, what you are looking at our tweets, the abusive tweets that my team screenshot it. and mclauchlin mp won‘t receive the abuse she receives —— won‘t read the abuse she receives —— won‘t read the abuse you received online. it is deeply personal and she does not wa nt to deeply personal and she does not want to share it. it takes a lot of strength that too. it takes a lot of strength that too. it is very tempt

there is an even darker side of death threats and violence. jo cox was murdered outside her constituencyy surgery lastjune. two thirds of female mps we spoke to say they have felt less safe ever since. well over half have received a physical threat from a member of the public. this is the room where i hold my surgeries. tulip sadik grudgingly makes sure she has security whenever she holds security surgeries. you feel safe now? this building has a police presence outside, staff are supportive, so i feel safer. it was one of my staff members who opened, quite young, i felt sorry for them, opening this letter that said they wa nted opening this letter that said they wanted to butcher my family. the offer scott in part with me and said, we need to take it to the police. i took swift action. the police. i took swift action. the police were quick to respond. it makes me think, who has time to sit and write a letter to an mp saying, i want to kill you and yourfamily? it all paints rather a grim picture and certainly the majority of mps we spoke to say they are concerned that hearing about this

that the referendum campaign was divisive, she quotes the late labour mp jo campaign was divisive, she quotes the late labour mpjo coxlate labour mpjo cox, murdered by a far right extremist before the referendum saying there is more that unites us than divides us. in big picture terms that is fine but in the details, there is a huge amount of division. what does brexit actually look like? there are a plethora of terms thrown around which are meaningless mostly, a hard brexit or a soft brexit, or some little saying a clean brexit. we will get the start of the process in the next few months, people like me will be talking endlessly about article 50, the trigger for the divorce of the european union. but we'll see the start —— that will start the two—year process to separate ourselves. it will be very complicated. a telegraph columnist this morning says that 2017 will be a yawnathon because of the amount of detail there will be. whether you are the 52 or the a8, this prime minister faces are the 52 or the a8, this prime ministerfaces one of are the 52 or the a8, this prime minister faces one of the most difficult challe
