Khalid Mahmood MP, Labour’s Shadow Europe Minister, responding to the terrorist attack in Barcelona, said:

“Our thoughts are with all those killed and injured in the cowardly attack on Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

"It bears all the hallmarks of similar atrocities we have seen in other cities, from Nice to London, attempting to divide our communities and change our way of life.

"But in that aim, it will never succeed: instead, it will strengthen our solidarity, stiffen our resolve, and leave the perpetrators of hatred and terror more isolated than ever.”
