Shabana Mahmood: “An attack on any individual in public life is an attack on every one of us, and it is an attack on democracy itself.”

We owe it to them and to everyone who believes in a fair and open country to ensure that those who serve at all levels receive the protection they deserve.

We can defeat those who mean us harm, but we are strongest when we act together.

Today I also announce an independent root-and-branch review of the protective security provided by the state to those in public life.

My message to the Eritrean government is simple: take back your nationals or face a complete ban on your citizens entering the UK.
