Despite an agreement to temporarily suspend referendum campaigning after MP Jo Cox's murder, Brexit backer Arron Banks urged campaigners to “keep pumping” out material the morning after her murder.

 

Leaked emails and documents reveal that despite an agreement by all groups to suspend campaigning in the aftermath of her death, the millionaire businessman instructed the social media team at Leave.EU to “boost” an existing sponsored ad on Facebook.

 

The emails show that on June 17 2016, the morning after Jo Cox’s death, Arron Banks issued an order to Liz Bilney, the CEO of Leave.EU and other staff:

 

“Keep pumping the McKenna video”, he says “and up the Spend A”.

 

Ms Bilney replies: “Yes that’s starting to get traction now and with paid advertising and no active campaigning could get a lot of take up today.”

 

Arron Banks replies: “Exactly – press it harder.”
