The Jo Cox Fund is currently around £47,000 short of its £1.5m target to fund charities concerned with combating loneliness and alienation, hate crimes and life-saving help for ordinary citizens trapped in the Syrian fighting. Donations are slowing down.
Surely, our Parliament and House of Lords could make up this shortfall?
It would be a generous and compassionate gesture from all sides of the political spectrum.
And what about a few of those ultra-rich donors to ALL political parties donating what, for them, is small change? And there are a good few millionaires in Parliament and donations would surely be tax-deductible.
This transcends party politics – or should do.
Perhaps Hugo Swire could donate another pot of honey – after all, the last one, auctioned for Conservative Party coffers, fetched £15,000.
