Ed Miliband statement on Woolwich murder

In a statement this evening, Ed Miliband said:

“This is a truly appalling murder which will shock the entire country.

“All of my thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim.

“The British people will be horrified by what has happened in Woolwich. They will be united in believing that this terror on our streets cannot be allowed to stand.

“The Labour Party will offer the Government our complete support in establishing the facts of what happened and ensuring that those responsible face the full force of British justice.”
