Police have now confirmed there have been a number of fatalities (that's what's on Sky News anyway).

Seems serious, but a lot of it's speculation for now!

Terrible, loads of different reports on where it happened and what it was (bomb, speaker system etc)

Loads of children without guardians are in the local Holiday Inn

British Transport Police have said it was in the foyer, but the cause is still not known.

I can feel my blood pressure already rising.

If this is what we think it is then response needs to be anger and action, not candles and tears. Enough of this.

Well of course they're using anti-terrorist protocols - they don't know what happened yet and that's what looks a likely answer, but all psychic predictions are pointless right now. At the moment it's very much the time for caring and not getting angry about what might have happened. Making sure everyone is as safe as they can be right now is the priority, pointing fingers doesn't help at this moment in time

Here's some footage from tonight below so people understand exactly what it is that the odious London Mayor Sadiq Khan believes we should basically get used to as it's 'part and parcel' of big city life. I don't accept this as part of British life and never ever will.

UNCONFIRMED reports of a gunman outside Oldham Hospital. The place is on lockdown.

UNCONFIRMED new reports of package found as Manchester Cathedral.

19 people confirmed dead, 50 injured.
