The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015.
It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough.
Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life.
For the 97. For their families. For every campaigner who never gave up.
This is your legacy.

Last Friday, I sent a letter to the Prime Minister calling on him to commit to implementing the Hillsborough Law in full, without carve-outs and without further delay, as a crucial first step in delivering the much-needed change in culture he is promising.

Soon all the people who still remember the horror of life for working class people before the creation of the NHS will be dead... and their testimony will become hearsay to those who would strive to capitalise on ill health.
Harry Leslie Smith reminds us:
Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.
RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙
🚨NEW: Bruce Springsteen has released a new song titled 'Streets of Minneapolis' in reponse to ICE's murders: "It’s dedicated...to the memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free - Bruce”
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen against Trump!
@Bill_Esterson as my MP, please can you write to @RachelReevesMP and @leicesterliz asking them to pay the pensions compensation owed to women within the first 100 days? https://t.co/LYFtmw8xRT
The first episode of Breathtaking was so spot on:
The chaos
The fear
The top down diktats ignorant to what’s actually happening on the frontline
And the kick in the teeth: there was no need for such chaos…we had plenty of warning!

I give my eternal thanks to all in the NHS for their courage
And my utter contempt for those in governmemt
Partying, loathsome, lying, grubby politicians who handed billions of pounds to donors & cronies for faulty PPE
CEO of Vote Leave Matthew Elliot is about to be placed in the House of Lords by Liz Truss.
If he needs to be blocked LIKE.
If he needs to be arrested RT.

I grew up in a time when WE owned everything in our infrastructure. Trains, water, gas, phones, electricity, waterways. You name it, it was nationalised.
Thatcher persuaded people selling it off would make it more efficient & our bills would be cheaper.
She was wrong
It’s there, it’s circling the stadium, you can hear it, unfortunately for those watching, they are yet to show it.
Any pictures please tweet them and get them out there asap!!
Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore.
The BBC said the @channel4 documentary only makes people angry.
The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are.
So do you care?
Feel free to RT to show that you do.
Every time I or my family need the NHS it comes up trumps. It’s not just the professionalism. It’s the carefulness and gentleness even when staff are under phenomenal pressure. Nobody will RT this because social media only validates click bait negativity. But thank you NHS. Xxx
