Today is a difficult day for our city. My confidence in Devon and Cornwall Police has been shaken by this catalogue of catastrophic failings.

The Inquest has shone a light on broken gun laws and licencing systems that are not fit for purpose. Firearms licensing must be beyond doubt and uphold the highest standards. I do not have confidence in Devon and Cornwall Police to issue firearms licences, and every gun certificate they have issued must be reviewed in light of the failings laid bare by the Inquest.

I am angry. Our community is angry. We want to see comprehensive change to prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.

My thoughts remain with the victims, their loved ones, survivors, witnesses and everyone else in our city who has been affected. Please remember that help and support is still available.
