A man shouted "Britain First" as he shot and stabbed Labour MP Jo Cox to death in a "cowardly attack", the Old Bailey has heard.
Thomas Mair, 53, allegedly murdered Mrs Cox outside her constituency surgery in Birstall, near Leeds, on 16 June.
On the opening day of his trial, the prosecution told jurors the 41-year-old was "brutally murdered... in what was a planned and pre-meditated murder for a political and/or ideological cause".
Mr Mair, from Birstall, denies murder.
The court heard Mrs Cox was to hold a surgery in a library after visiting a local school and care home when she was attacked.
Prosecutor Richard Whittam QC said: "As she arrived she was brutally murdered by one of her constituents, this defendant, Thomas Mair.
"It was a cowardly attack by a man armed with a firearm and a knife.
"Jo Cox was shot three times and suffered multiple stab wounds. During the course of the murder Thomas Mair was heard by a number of witnesses to say repeatedly 'Britain First'."
Jurors were told that a 77-year-old man was also injured as he tried to save Mrs Cox.
The trial is expected to last for up to three weeks.
