Speaking after an attack on a mosque in Sussex, Shabana Mahmood said:
Reports on the weekend of an attack on a mosque in Peacehaven are deeply concerning. I am being kept up-to-date by law enforcement.
An investigation is ongoing, but it seems clear that things could easily have been far worse. I thank the emergency services for their swift response at the scene. And I ask anyone with any information to come forward to the police.
At a time like this, we must stand united. This country’s greatest strength has been its ability to build one nation from many communities. Attacks against Britain’s Muslims are attacks against all Britons and this country itself.
