00:00This is close to home.
00:03This was the very service that my wife and I, Jackie, took just a few hours before this attack.
00:09It's the service I use every week to get home to Rotherham.
00:12So I can't begin to imagine how shocked and frightened those passengers were
00:18and a huge tribute to those passengers and the emergency services for their response
00:21because it could have been so much worse.
00:24But we know that 10 people are in hospital, 9 are very seriously injured with potentially life-threatening conditions
00:32and we know the police are investigating, supported by the counter-terrorism police
00:37and we need to avoid speculation, we need to let them get on and do that job
00:43and make no mistake, the Home Secretary will update the public just as soon as we have any further facts
00:51and the police will do the same.
