Ian Byrne’s sincere commitment to do right by Hillsborough families shines through this interview. I urge Government ministers to listen to him, the campaigners & their expert lawyers & pull back from tearing the party apart tomorrow & breaking the hearts of the victims’ families

[Cathy Long @Cathy_TwoHalves]

Honestly I can’t get over this. It’s extraordinary. The people who tried us by media are complaining about trial by media. They lied. We didn’t.

Twelve police officers would have faced gross misconduct proceedings for their failings during the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989, an investigation has found.

Margaret Aspinall: "It is frustrating, it really makes you angry when you think of all those 97 who died, unlawfully killed, and yet not one persons being held to account. To me that's a disgrace.."

[The Wrong Kennedy @wrong_kennedy]

One of the most vicious lies the police told about Hillsborough was that Liverpool fans deliberately burnt a police horse with cigarettes. It was covered widely in the media after the disaster.

But it was a complete lie & it was confirmed today that the officer involved, PC David Scott, would have had a case to answer for gross misconduct, had he still been serving.

Re: that statement by South Yorkshire Police Federation which represents all constables, sergeants, inspectors and chief inspectors within South Yorkshire Police. Policing of games has changed hugely, SYP has obviously changed hugely in personnel and there are doubtless conscientious people there who must be horrified at the content and tone of the Federation statement but clearly, sadly, shamefully, some of the old culture remains.

A read through and reaction to the statement which begins…

“South Yorkshire Police Federation is aware of today’s Independent Office for Police Conduct report into the Hillsborough disaster. The report is a significant waste of taxpayers' time and taxpayers' money.” How heartless and offensive. The Federation should have started its statement with a show of compassion and contrition to the grieving families of the 97 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster.

As for "taxpayers' money", people want to know their taxes are spent on police keeping people safe, not putting them at risk. It's not a “significant waste” of money to have “fundamental failures” (IOPC words) of the police highlighted by a watchdog and naming those who failed in their duties.

“It is not fair or balanced.” What’s “not fair” is that the police tried to blame the victims in 1989. What’s “not fair” is that the families have had no justice. It’s also insulting to the IOPC which spent 13 years on the 366-page report.

“Former police officers - some of whom are very elderly and some who have sadly passed away - do not have any kind of due process or the ability to formally respond to the allegations made in this report.” How callous. Try repeating that line about police officers “some who have sadly passed away” to the Hillsborough families still grieving the loss of loved ones. Was similar sympathy accorded them? No. The families were treated disgracefully after Hillsborough.

“These are opinions of the IOPC essentially being dressed up as statements of almost fact. We emphasise that these are just allegations. Our former colleagues do not have and have not had the right to reply to any accusations.” Stop digging. Were the Hillsborough families given the right to reply to police falsehoods? IOPC reported that 100 more police officer statements after Hillsborough were found to have been amended, making it a total of 327 police officer statements amended. Cover-up writ large.

“They should not face trial by media.” Try telling that to the families who endured trial by sections of the media after Hillsborough.

“It is with this context that we should rightly question the value of this much-delayed report and its multi-million pound cost to the public purse.” Again, thoughtless. Judging by this statement, the Federation focuses on time and money. The families focus on justice.

“This report doesn't help anybody involved in the Hillsborough disaster.” How dare those representing the police presume they – of all people – know what would help the bereaved families? Brave relatives campaign in the memory of their lost loved ones. They are trying to ensure this country never endures a disaster like this again and that the follow-up cover-up is never repeated. Full police accountability would help the families.

This report underlines the importance of the Hillsborough Law which involves “a legal duty of candour on public servants and providing legal aid for victims of state-related deaths and disaster”, the Government says.

The final line of the SYPF statement reads… “Our thoughts remain with all those affected by this terrible tragedy.” Finally. If the Federation had just released this short sentence, and deleted all the preceding self-serving, offensive words, its statement wouldn’t have been so widely criticised. #LFC

Humbling to listen to some of the men and women who escaped the central pens in the Leppings Lane terrace at Hillsborough. It takes unbelievable courage to open up about that day and the consequences. Please take the time to read their stories. No paywall. https://t.co/5NPoVdqg4K

Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever - not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together.

To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true character, to the @premierleague officials who handled it professionally - thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most.

Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play - for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be.

The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together. 🙏🏾⚽

These lads have been through a lot and being back at Anfield and in that dressing room must have been tough. That goal last night meant a lot to Mo. ❤️

He was killed by Israeli forces while he was waiting for aid just in case you keep seeing headlines of his death where that isn’t made clear

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Keir Starmer is appointing a former Sun editor to a top government comms role, while watering down the Hillsborough Law.

Bootlicking the Murdoch press, betraying the people of Liverpool and insulting every campaigner for justice.

Justice For The 97.

Thank you Glasto - that was boss. I’m a lucky lad to be able to play for all you beautiful people year after year. I hope you’ve all had a weekend in paradise on the farm. ❤️ @Glastonbury @GlastoLeftField

[Peter Bolster @peter_bolster]

One of the best things about being in charge of the curriculum is being able to put Hillsborough on it — permanently. Not just as a tragedy, but as a fight for justice, truth, and dignity. With permission, I’ve included my mate @DamianKav’s story — a local lad, a survivor, and a voice that cuts through the national silence. His story will resonate — here in his hometown, and far beyond. And as the campaign for the Hillsborough Law continues, our students will understand exactly why it matters.

He makes money from engaging with him.

He is desperate.

Don't give him money by interacting.

BLOCK HIM.

All you’re doing by engaging with that ginger ‘comedian’ is boosting his public profile and probably his career in the long run btw.

This is likely the most attention he’s ever had in his life. Starve it.

[Myles Fitzpatrick @mylesfitz]

What has been demonstrated in the last 48 hours is the true strength of community and the power of people coming together. The people of Liverpool are a force of nature, they look after their own in time of need.

To share some positivity, I managed to grab a quick picture after filming the buses passing by - I was lucky enough for the last 2 parades to be on the bus with the players as it went down the strand, and those memories will always make me smile. This time, seeing it from the fans perspective made those memories even more special.
