Thomas Mair, 53, allegedly shot Mrs Cox, 41, dead in broad daylight as she made her way to meet with constituents in Birstall, West Yorks., this summer.

But the suspect refused to respond when charges were put to him in court today and in the absence of any reply, judge Mr Justice Wilkie entered not guilty pleas on his behalf.

Balding Mair sat with his arms crossed as he appeared via videolink at the Old Bailey in London, is also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon — a dagger.

The suspect allegedly caused grievous bodily harm with intent to Bernard Carter-Kenny, 77, on the same date as he tried to help the mum-of-two.

Mair, wearing red trousers and a white sweatshirt, spoke only to confirm his name.

Mr Wilkie said: "He appears to be mute and therefore I will enter a plea of not guilty."

Richard Whittam QC, prosecuting, said his alleged conduct has a "terrorist connection".

Mrs Cox was shot three times and stabbed in the street on June 16.

Mair, from Birstall, will face trial on November 14.

It is expected to last four weeks.
