Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has promised to bring in a new law inspired by the Hillsborough fight for justice if he becomes prime minister.
said:"Labour stands unequivocally with the Hillsborough families. We've repeatedly called for the Hillsborough Law and making it reality would be a priority of my Labour government."Sir Keir said that he spoke to family members of the victims while working as director of public prosecutions.
He added:"In July this year I visited the Hillsborough memorial and met with campaigner Margaret Aspinall, whose son James was amongst the victims of the tragedy. Demands for reform were reignited earlier this year following ITV drama Anne, which tells the story of a mother's fight for justice after her son Kevin was killed in the Hillsborough disaster.
