KRIS Hopkins, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Keighley and Ilkley, has strongly condemned the overnight terrorist attacks in London.
He said: “My thoughts are with those affected by the sickening events in London.
“There is no excuse or justification for terrorism.”
Seven people have died and many more injured in terror attacks using a van and knives on Saturday night.
Three attackers, wearing hoax explosive vests, were shot and killed by police.
At least 48 people have been taken to five hospitals following the incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market in London.
A van is reported to have ploughed into pedestrians on the bridge and people were reportedly stabbed at the popular food market in south London.
Emergency services were seen treating people lying injured at the junction of Thrale Street and Southwark Street, near Borough Market.
British Transport Police said there were reports of “multiple” casualties but that the seriousness of the injuries was not yet known.
