*Jonathan Bartley: “Our country will never be divided by terror“
The Green Party has suspended campaigning today after last night’s terrorist attack in Manchester.
All national campaigning events, including the billboard launch and Welsh Green Party manifesto launch are cancelled.
In a statement following the attacks, the Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley said:
“Our thoughts are with those affected by this appalling incident in Manchester. For young people to be targeted in this way is utterly atrocious.
“As ever our emergency services have done us proud – and we pay tribute to the police, firefighters and paramadics who stepped up in this time of need.
“Our country will never be divided by terror. The people of Manchester showed last night just how strong the bond of friendship is between the people who live on these islands – and in the coming days and weeks we’ll show that we won’t let terrorism tear us apart.”

Below are comments from Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson following last night’s terrorist attack in Manchester.
“This is devastating news and all my prayers go out today to the families of those who were killed and injured.
“I can only imagine the pain they are feeling and their heartbreak is shared across the country.
“It goes without saying that our political campaigning will cease today.
“Terrorism has once again struck our country and, once again, we are faced with a sense of disbelief that someone could be capable of carrying out such an appalling act.
“We will stand with the people of Manchester.
“We also all know that this wonderful vibrant city will not be defeated by this terrorist act.
“The courageous work of our emergency services and the generosity and help offered by ordinary people after the attack are the values that define us.
“We have faced down terror before, and we will do so again.”
