Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has visited Southport following a knife attack which left three children dead and nine others critically injured. Speaking at the scene, Ms Cooper said: "It's beyond every parent's worst nightmare. What should have been a children's party, having fun at the beginning of the summer holidays could then turn into something so devastating. There's deep concern about knife attacks across the country and that's why the PM has said it is a moral mission to address this." Report by Kennedyl.

James Cleverly said the government have been too slow to act following the riots throughout the UK. The shadow home secretary said: "It is right that the people involved in this will feel the full force of the law. They should have got Cobra up and running much earlier than they have done but it's important now that they send a message that this action is unacceptable."
