A genuine question. At 1245 this afternoon the PM told a grieving mother on the anniversary of her son’s death that he would introduce legislation (“before summer recess”) in her son’s name. How is that reconcilable with knowing he was about to call an election?

Important morning for #MartynsLaw . Nick Aldworth and ⁦@FigenMurray⁩ currently giving convincing evidence on the need for Martyn’s Law and why it mustn’t be watered down. ⁦@TomTugendhat⁩ ⁦@SuellaBraverman⁩ ⁦@survivors_a_t⁩

Tomorrow is the five year anniversary of the Manchester Arena Attack. Our new report from @survivors_a_t shows that mental health support for terror survivors still has gaping holes in it. Kids were left traumatised by the attack & left on waiting lists 🧵 itv.com/news/2022-05-20/terr…

The state has a particular responsibility to ensure terror attack survivors get proper support. They have been attacked as a proxy for the state and that means the state has additional responsibilities. This is recognised in countries like France and Belgium, but not yet here.

I’ve been lucky enough to get to know ⁦@FigenMurray⁩ (Martyn’s mum) in her campaign to make venues safer. Tonight’s news is an important breakthrough in that campaign. Hoping all parties will follow suit and back this common sense legislation. thesun.co.uk/news/10477056/b…
