This, from @IanByrneMP’s superb speech today, gets right to the heart of it: “When power is unaccountable, truth becomes negotiable. Justice becomes optional. People become expendable.” Nailed it.
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.

The message from Hillsborough and from Grenfell, heard so many many times: 'why should we have to fight for basic human rights to justice?'.
Well done to the Hillsborough families; 37 years is 37 years too long.
.@IanByrneMP: "For so many years this place was part of the problem. Today I believe it can become part of the solution. Today is not the end of a campaign, its the start of doing things differently, its about people in power telling the truth.."
I hatė when jobs ask you to set “goals.” My only goal is to stay employed, pay my bills, and find fulfillment in the parts of my life that have absolutely nothing to do with my job.
Not a single detail in this press release was leaked beforehand. All the tabloids and their digging didn't get one word of it.
They got to announce it on their own terms, and that's all I could have possibly wanted for them.
