I am being kept updated about an incident last night at Manchester Central Mosque. My thoughts are with everyone who was there, at Ramadan prayers. My deepest thanks go to the volunteers for their quick thinking and bravery. @gmpolice are now leading the investigation - and must be allowed to pursue their work. Anyone who has any information should contact them on 101. There is no place for hatred in our country, and there never will be.

Councillor Eamonn O’Brien, Leader of Bury Council: “No one should feel fear when attending their place of worship. We know how distressing the incident at Manchester Central Mosque will feel for Muslim communities, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

Hear more from Councillor Tamoor Tariq, Cabinet Member for Adult Care, Health and Public Service Reform, in the video and message from the Leader of the council in this thread.
