'What if I die on my own?'

The Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness will be launched this week by Labour MP Rachel Reeves and Conservative MP Seema Kennedy.

Cox - who was murdered in June 2016 - decided to set up a national Commission on Loneliness after meeting people in her Batley and Spen constituency whose lives had been blighted by loneliness and social isolation.

One of those people was Sandra Yates. She tells the Westminster Hour's Sam Macrory how she struggled with loneliness, and why she wanted to speak to Jo Cox about tackling the problem.
