After last night’s horrific attack, my thoughts today are with the victims, their friends and family.
My deepest thanks go to the British Transport Police, Cambridgeshire Police, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service and the East of England Ambulance Service. They responded rapidly, with the utmost professionalism and saved lives.
I would also like to pay tribute to the exceptional bravery of staff and passengers on the train.
We now know this attack is not being treated as terrorism, and that two British-born, British nationals have been arrested.
The investigation is ongoing, and I am receiving regular updates from the police.
