Commenting on the terrorist attacks in London, Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said:
"My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families after the horrific terrorist attacks in London last night.
"Once again our nation finds itself under attack from those who hate our way of life and seek to change us. But we will not allow that to happen, because the values that they hate – democracy, the rule of law and tolerance – are what make our country so special. It's why Britain is a beacon for other nations around the world. We will not let the terrorists win.
"We must also thank those in our emergency services who yet again put themselves in danger to protect others. Their bravery and commitment to our safety never fails to inspire.
"London is one of the greatest cities in the world, a place where people from every continent have made their home. One of the most multi-cultural cities on earth will continue to welcome people from different faiths, cultures, races and backgrounds. It will not be cowed. We all stand with the people of London today."
