KEIGHLEY MP Kris Hopkins has joined in condemnation of yesterday's terrorist attack in London.

He said "those who hate us and want to damage us will never win".

Mr Hopkins was speaking following the incident in which an attacker drove a car along a pavement in Westminster before stabbing a policeman.

Five people have died and at least 40 were injured.

“My thoughts are with the families of those who died, including the incredibly brave and professional police officer who lost his life trying to defend us," said Mr Hopkins.

“I also want to convey my very best wishes to those who were injured, together with my hope that they are able to make full recoveries.

“I pay tribute to the police officers, door keepers and staff of the House who looked after everyone so well during the lockdown.

“The Palace of Westminster is the heartbeat of our democracy and an attack on it is an assault on our nation.

“But those who hate us and want to damage us will never win. I look forward to being back in Parliament again this morning when both Houses will meet as scheduled.”
