Delivered a strong speech under the 10 minute rule today.
Unfortunately I don't think the establishemnt will ever let if become law = too many vested interests in high places |  | | |  |

Did the Establishment also prevent you from sharing any kind of details of this as well? |  |

I only caught the last half when he had moved on from Hillsborough to deal with a number of other examples.
But rather than me getting accused of confusion I recommend you look at the entire speech on parliament TV.

Just catching up on today's events. BBC reporting the bill got through its first reading which is good news. Not heard his speech but will have a read tomorrow.

Scary isn't it, that you need a law to ensure the police are honest when giving evidence to a coroner, to assist with investigations and not to feed lies to the press.
The bill also seeks to ensure equality of funding at inquests to help avoid the situation where one side (the state) has top legal teams and another (bereaved family) has no funding.

Andy Burnham is the biggest asset the Labour Party possesses. He is wise enough to play the long game, and if the party doesn't split, he will lead them out of the wilderness when the time is right and the electorate is ready. | | | |

Just watched his speech, very impressive as ever. The bill's first reading was passed unanimously with no dissenting voices.
Interestingly the bill was put forward with cross party support and as well as well know campaigners such as Burnham, Eagle and Rotherham, Tim Farron, Peter Bottomley and Caroline Lucas were also named as preparing the bill.
Fingers crossed this gets through, as otherwise, their is every chance of yet more cover up and collusion from state bodies rather than them accepting and acting on their failings. | |
