The UK government has broken its promise to introduce a Hillsborough law by April 15, but prime minister Keir Starmer has again vowed he “will deliver.”
Starmer spoke on multiple occasions of his desire to introduce a Hillsborough law, promising last year that it would be in place by the 36th anniversary of the disaster.
We have now reached that date, though, and not only has the law not been passed in Parliament, but the Labour government have attempted to water down the bill.
