Starmer to use last week in power to push through Hillsborough law
politics
The Guardian reports that Keir Starmer is pushing to advance the Hillsborough law through Parliament during his final week in power. The bill, stalled for months, creates new criminal offences for officials who deliberately mislead the public or obstruct accountability after major disasters. It also strengthens legal support for families seeking justice in such circumstances. Starmer is now expected to move the legislation through its remaining stages before he leaves office.
