Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party, said:
“We are all shocked and horrified
by the brutal attacks in London. My thoughts are with the families and friends
of those who have died and the many who have been injured. Today, we will all
grieve for their loss.
“I would like to thank the police and emergency services for their bravery and
professionalism in acting to save lives and deal with these appalling acts of
terrorism, as well as NHS staff and members of the public who sought to protect
others.
“The Labour party will be
suspending national campaigning until this evening, after consultations with

injury.

The Green Party’s thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims of last night’s terror attack in central London, as well as with others affected. Our thanks go to the emergency services who responded with professionalism and enormous bravery.
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas said:
“My heart goes out to all those affected and caught up in these horrific and despicable attacks, and my thoughts are with the victims and their families. Deep thanks to our emergency services who have responded again with enormous bravery, and to the many members of the public displaying courage and compassion in the midst of terrible scenes.”
Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley said:
“I am sickened that terrorists have again attempted to divide us in such a cruel and crude fashion. They will not succeed. As in Manchester, and in the aftermath of the Westminster attacks, people will come together in the coming days and demonstrate that our way of life is precious and will not be surrendered to those determined to spread fear.”
The Green Party will shortly be suspending national campaigning until this evening. Local campaigning will continue.
