PRIME Minister Theresa May has vowed to stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with France following the terror attacks in Nice yesterday evening.
Less than two days after after taking office, Mrs May said that we must ‘redouble our efforts’ in the fight against terrorism, after at least 84 people were killed during Bastille Day celebrations in the south of the country.
The MP for Maidenhead said: “I have asked my deputy national security adviser to chair a Cobra meeting of senior officials to review what we know and what we can do to help and I will speak to President Hollande today and make clear that the United Kingdom stands shoulder to shoulder with France today as we have done so often in the past.
“If, as we fear, this was a terrorist attack then we must redouble our efforts to defeat these brutal murderers who want to destroy our way of life.
“We must work with France and our partners around the world to stand up for our values and for our freedom.”
