A police officer has been stabbed in the Houses of Parliament in central London, Commons Leader David Lidington has said.
He told MPs the "alleged assailant was shot by armed police" following a "serious" incident.

NBC stream shows what appears to be quite a few bodies being tended to on Westminster Bridge, just outside Parliament.

Unconfirmed reports say a car apparently mowed them down and crashed into a fence near Parliament

Seems like a car driving through people on the bridge and the shooting may be police taking down the assailant (after he stabbed a police officer).

Definitely a few heavily injured or deceased on the bridge; not looking good.

What's not surprising is people on both sides jumping on whatever rhetorical bandwagon they think is morally superior. Waiting until facts come out is just too boring for a lot of people.

You're not wrong.

My office is in total lockdown. Luckily for me, I'd just left Victoria Street to go to an meeting in Holborn before it all happened so got home pretty quickly.
