Brendan Cox: 'These people won't win'

These people won’t win, they’re not going to defeat our country by driving a car down a bridge and mowing down pedestrians. The only way they’ll win is if they sow discord and they drive us against each other.

Today Good Morning Britain spoke to Brendan Cox, whose wife MP Jo Cox was killed in a attack last year, about yesterday's supposed terrorist attack in Westminster in which three people were killed and 40 injured.

He told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid: “I think we have to understand what happened and we have to tackle it but one of the things I also want to make sure that we do is we remember the people that died not just the person that committed this act."

Brendan continued to stress that the focus shoould be on those whose lives were lost, rather than the perpetrator's.

"I think we should be telling the stories of PC Palmer, the remarkable person who, unarmed, put his life on the line to save people, to save the values that we care about. "

He continued: “I don’t think we should rise above it, I don’t think we should be calm about it, I think we should confront it, we should take it on and that’s partly about security."
