Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

[inbetween]

Sky just reported it as coming from her college on social media but again, can i urge caution here because its been made clear that all news on casualties will come only from GMP and until they do just that its not right to speculate imo.

True or not Runshaw is half a mile from me. Really shocking. A lad from Edge Hill a few more miles away was hurt in the London attack I remember.

just passing through albert sq, armed police on all corners, but everything seems normal, yet on the other end of cross st it's being evacuated, coyole of work mates worried as you don't know what might happen.

It's a little bizzare watching people outside cafes having lunch while this is going on 1/4 mile a way

Arndales reopening now

Police saying the Arndale evacuation was unconnected to the attack.

Arrest in Chorlton was.

Was it the skinhead in combats? Traditional far right look.

Yeah was gonna say he looked like a neo nazi type

There's no more targets. This isn't how they work. Technically today is probably the safest day to ever be in Manchester.

Doesn't look like it.
Reports are coming in of gun shots in arndale centre.

All this stuff is coming too close to home now. We had the attack in London near to where I worked, we had the attack in Stockholm in a street I'd shopped on and now this in Manchester. I went to the boxing there maybe six weeks back. Our elected people and opposition candidates can express their concerns and sympathies all they like. Why can't they fuck up those responsible?

I really appreciated this from James Corden. Brilliant speech.
