Suspension of Campaigning

Mid Sussex Liberal Democrats, in common with other Liberal Democrat organizations throughout the country, has suspended campaigning today as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives during the recent tragic bombing in Manchester.

Tim Farron, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, has said:

"This is a shocking and horrific attack targeting children and young people who were simply enjoying a concert.

"My deepest sympathies are with the victims, and with families who have lost loved ones, as well as those desperately waiting for news.

"I would like to pay tribute to the bravery and dedication of the emergency services.

"This is an attack on innocent people and the nation is united both in its grief and its determination to stand up to this deplorable attack."
