Following the attack that has left nine people with life-threatening injuries, Shabana Mahmood said her thoughts “go out to all those affected”.
She added: “I am receiving regular updates on the investigation. I urge people to avoid comment and speculation at this early stage.”
Ms Cunningham blasted: “I can’t stop thinking about those victims, 10 beautiful lives, families in agony waiting to see if they pull through, I am devastated. We are a nation in mourning.
“And Shabana’s first instinct isn’t fury, urgency or a vow to catch them or make our trains safe. Her priority is to silence us, to manage our reaction not our safety.
