Keir's vow to the 97

The PM held a meeting with campaigners yesterday, including Margaret Aspinall.

Her son James, 18, was one of 97 Liverpool fans who were unlawfully killed in the tragedy.

Mr Starmer said: "We've pushed through to get this law into place where the families think it's the right law."

He added: "I've known Margaret for quite a long time now. I gave her my word we would deliver this law. I've delivered on that. I've given her my word we won't water it down."
