The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 21 June 2026.
People should be free to worship, work and walk our streets without fear. The attack in Edinburgh is disturbing. Violence in our streets is bad enough but reports indicate some of the victims were targeted because they were Muslim. This is abhorrent.
I am glad police acted swiftly. The victims and their families deserve justice, and the public must have confidence that the law applies equally to everyone.
