MI5 faced stinging criticism today from the families of those who were killed in the 2017 terror attack at Manchester Arena.
QCs representing the bereaved families slammed the security services for failing to share vital information about suicide bomber Salman Abedi with counter terror cops, accusing them of trying to spare their reputations rather than admit failings.
MI5 'failed to keep the country safe' on the night, said John Cooper QC, who represents the biggest group of families.
