		</div><p>The man accused of the terror-related murder of Labour MP Jo Cox in England refused to speak when he was asked to enter pleas in court.</p>
<p>Thomas Mair, 53, allegedly shot and stabbed the 41-year-old outside her constituency surgery in Birstall, near Leeds, on June 16.</p>
<p>He is charged with Mrs Cox&#8217;s murder, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon &#8211; a dagger.</p>
<p>He is also charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Bernard Carter-Kenny on the same date.</p>
<p>Mair, from Birstall, is in custody and his case is being treated under the &#8220;terrorism protocol&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mrs Cox&#8217;s sister was among family members who gathered at the Old Bailey.</p>
<p>Wearing red trousers and a white sweatshirt, the bearded defendant appeared via video- link from Belmarsh prison before senior judge Mr Justice Wilkie.</p>
<p>He spoke to confirm his name and then sat with his arms crossed and stayed silent as he was asked to enter pleas.</p>
<p>The judge ordered, in light of his silence, that not guilty pleas be entered on all the charges.</p>
<p>A provisional four-week trial date has already been fixed for November 14.<br />
The judge adjourned the case to a further hearing on October 28.</p>
<p>At the time of her death, Mrs Cox was described by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as &#8220;one of our very best&#8221;. She left a husband, Brendan, and two young children.</p>
