For the first time, the parents of five of the girls who were stabbed in the Southport attack have shared their stories.

Humbled and privileged to meet them. Here is their story - a difficult read but with hope at the end.

An extremely moving but ultimately uplifting report that sheds some light on what the families & these girls have been through, & rightly puts their experience centre stage.

Twenty-two years after she last entered the witness box, the victim returned last month.

Then she dropped a bombshell: she doubted Malkinson was her attacker as soon as she saw him in court in 2004 – and says she told police of her concerns at the time.

@BBC6Music Loved hearing the tribute to Independent in Sunderland. I got a job there by accident in 2007 after turning up by myself as I was desperate for some live music. Fortunately, someone didn’t turn up for their shift so I got the job. Loved it. Long live indy venues!

"We have a government that talks quite a lot about...the social mobility of themselves or their colleagues … But what we don’t have is a coherent approach to social mobility”

After nine weeks of evidence and more than 100 witnesses, my big read on how the Southport atrocity could - and should - have been prevented:

[Josh Halliday @JoshHalliday]

Over nine weeks and more than 100 witnesses, the Southport inquiry heard in shocking detail how the atrocity was completely preventable.

Testimony from the families was the most harrowing and heartbreaking I’ve heard in 15 years of reporting.
