GB News Home and Security Editor Mark White has identified the "biggest issue of concern" as determining whether the car ramming incident in Liverpool could be a terror incident and if more attacks might be planned.

"If something is declared a terror incident, might there be more in the way of planned attacks like this?" Mark said, highlighting the key question investigators are now racing to answer.

The incident has prompted immediate attention from the highest levels of Government, with senior politicians anxiously awaiting information about what happened and any potential wider risk.

"We have heard a statement from the Home Secretary about the horrendous incident in Liverpool - she is being kept informed by special investigators", Markk explained.

The incident occurred during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade when a car rammed into fans in the city centre. Merseyside Police confirmed they were contacted just after 6pm on Monday with reports that a car had collided with several pedestrians on Water Street.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the scenes as "appalling" and said his "thoughts are with all those injured or affected." He added that he was "being kept updated on developments."

White's concerns come in the context of similar vehicle attacks across Europe in recent months. "We have seen vehicles in Germany and France in recent months vehicles used to deadly effect," he noted.

The Liverpool incident follows a large celebration in the city centre, where tens of thousands of dancing, scarf-and-flag-waving fans braved wet weather to line the streets and watch Liverpool's players display the Premier League trophy.

Emergency services rushed to the scene, with the North West Ambulance Service still assessing the situation and working to ensure people receive necessary medical help.

Mark emphasised that crowded places like the Liverpool victory parade are inherently vulnerable targets. "Crowded places are always a higher risk and that's why we saw higher numbers of police numbers on scene to deal with the situation," he said.

The security expert explained that large gatherings present multiple challenges for law enforcement. "They know crowded places come with a risk anyway when you come with a mass of people and there's always a risk for things to go wrong," Mark added.

Despite the increased police presence at the Liverpool celebration, authorities were unable to prevent the vehicle from ramming into the crowd of supporters.
