Great day at Labour North West conference with friends old and new, united in hope and determination for change 🌹🙏

I’m pleased the issue of child sexual exploitation is getting more attention. I represented victims of abuse regularly in court, and know that the current systems too often fail the vulnerable. The government must urgently implement the recommendations of the Jay Report.

They are not just 97 people. They are not just the 97. They are mates, dads and lads, couples, parents, sons and daughters. They are people, loved and cherished. Every one of the 97 people who died at Hillsborough has a story. Never Forgotten.

We’re going even further to get the homes local people need. No longer will developers with planning permission be able to let sites gather dust for decades while a generation struggles to get on the housing ladder.

We're giving half a million more children in England free school meals to tackle hunger, give children the best start in life & help them succeed. This will put £500 a year back in families' pockets & lift 100,000 children completely out of poverty. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
