Responding to the petition from the Bereaved Families for Justice calling on the Prime Minister to apologise, Liberal Democrats Leader Ed Davey MP said: “This is a powerful initiative from the Bereaved Families. I cannot imagine how tens of thousands of families have felt seeing these appalling comments from the prime minister on the front pages of the newspapers.
“The families want an apology and an immediate public inquiry, that is the very least Boris Johnson can do.
“The Liberal Democrats will continue to support the bereaved families and campaign for an immediate public inquiry.”
