We can defeat those who mean us harm, but we are strongest when we act together.
An attack on any individual in public life is an attack on every one of us, and it is an attack on democracy itself.
I would not hesitate to impose further measures on other countries refusing to co-operate.
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.
