- You have a mass shooting every single day in your country, your murder rate is many times that of the UK, your healthcare system is a disgrace, you can’t pass anything through a congress that you control. I would focus on that..@Theresa_May, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!
- My thoughts and love are with David’s family. They are all that matter now. This brings everything back. The pain, the loss, but also how much love the public gave us following the loss of Jo. I hope we can do the same for David now.
- Trump has legitimised the far right in his own country, now he’s trying to do it in ours. Spreading hatred has consequences & the President should be ashamed of himself.
- Feel a bit sick at Jo’s name being used in this way. The best way to honour Jo is for all of us (no matter our views) to stand up for what we believe in, passionately and with determination. But never to demonise the other side and always hold onto what we have in common.
- Six years ago today the person we loved most in the world was taken from us. Our family’s wish is that on this day we remember what we have in common, even with those we might disagree with. And to emphasise what connects us rather than what divides us. #MoreInCommon
- Bloody immigrants coming here and…oh. Saving our lives. What an absolute hero. Hoping he gets better as soon as possible so he can receive the thanks he so clearly deserves.🚨📸 PICTURED: Samir Zitouni has been named as the LNER staff member who “undoubtedly” saved lives by stopping the attacker
- Weird thing to do on Christmas Eve but I’d encourage everyone to take a moment to imagine losing the person you love most in the world. Imagine what you would wish you had said to them. Then take a moment to say it.
- Tomorrow is Jo’s anniversary. The kids & I will remember her love, enthusiasm & excitement. We’ll focus on the time we had with her, not our loss. I hope the country continues to build on her belief that we have #MoreInCommon. We need that now more than ever.
- I would far rather read about Jack’s life than the terrorists. Jack sounds like an extraordinary young man, someone we should learn from and celebrate.
- When islamist terrorists attack we rightly seek out hate preachers who spur them on. We must do the same to those who peddle Islamophobia
- Yes, yes and yes again. When Jo was killed I vowed the same. I have often genuinely forgotten the person’s name and my kids have never heard it. Notoriety is such an important driver for terrorists and we should all get better at denying them it.
