“I can’t imagine what that poor boy’s family are going through and they have my deepest, heartfelt condolence­s. My prayers are also with the other victims of this horrific attack” - London MP Wes Streeting after an attack in which a 14-year-old boy was killed and four other people, including two police officers, were injured.

“The police officers and emergency services showed the best of our city – running towards danger to protect others” - London mayor Sadiq Khan on the police response to the incident in London.

“Talks were going swimmingly, then not, then back on again. I’m hoping to land them, I’m an experience­d fisherman. I’m hoping to land them on the riverbank in good time” - Workers Party of Britain leader George Galloway claims he is in talks with three

Labour MPs about defecting. “We shouldn’t have to eradicate women from our language in order to be inclusive and welcoming. If somebody walks in and they want to have a specific phrase or term used, of course we respect that, but it’s also about ensuring that biological sex is respected” - Health Secretary Victoria Atkins on proposed changes to the NHS Constituti­on.

“The prime minister promised to detain and remove all those who crossed the Channel. Now he can’t even locate those intended for removal. How can the Conservati­ve Home Office keep losing so many people?” Shadow immigratio­n minister Stephen Kinnock after a government document said only 2,143 out of the 5,700 people identified for removal to Rwanda could be located.
