Some of these people could still be alive today and I would like to know about accountability.
Andrew Roussos, the father of Saffie Roussos who tragically died aged just eight, previously said MI5 have 'blood on their hands'. Speaking on Times Radio on March 5, Mr Roussos said MI5 have 'most of the blame' for the tragic attack in May 2017, where 22 people sadly lost their lived after Abedi detonated a bomb shortly after an Ariana Grande concert at the city centre venue.
Ms Braverman noted Sir John Saunders, the chairman of the public inquiry, was also clear in his conclusion that 'it remains quite impossible to say whether any different or additional action taken by the authorities could have prevented the attack'. She reiterated her plans to reform the Prevent programme, telling MPs: “Prevent will focus on security, not on political correctness, and its first objective will be to tackle the ideological causes of terrorism.
