Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party, has today written a letter to President Hollande:

 Dear François,

I write to express my deepest sympathy for the families and friends of those killed and injured in yesterday’s horrific attacks in Paris, and our solidarity with the French people.

Our whole country is shocked and appalled by these sickening and unjustifiable attacks on innocent civilians.

And we stand united with your country in expressing our unequivocal condemnation of those involved in planning and carrying out these atrocities. 

The shocking events in Paris are a reminder to all of the ever-present threat of terrorism and indiscriminate violence. 

We will support every effort to bring to justice the perpetrators of these despicable acts. 

With condolences and solidarity, from myself and the Labour party as a whole.

Jeremy Corbyn
