Caroline Curry, whose son Liam Curry, 19, was killed in the bombing, said she was “devastated” about amendments to the bill and felt like she had been misled.<\/p>\n
“We can’t bring our children back, they’re gone,” she said.<\/p>\n
“But what we can do is try to stand up for other people and try to protect their children.”<\/p>\n
“It’s not what they agreed and what they promised,” said Lisa Rutherford, whose daughter Chloe Rutherford, 17, was also killed.<\/p>\n
“They have said that they will go away and have another look but we are not hopeful,” she added. “All we want is honesty.”<\/p>\n
“The government is in danger of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” said Pete Weatherby KC, a director of the Hillsborough Law Now campaign which is assisting with the bill.<\/p>\n
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Labour MP Anneliese Midgley accused MI5 of spending “six years misleading the public and concealing information” about the arena bombing.<\/p>\n
In response, Sir Keir said he is determined not to “water down” the legislation and argued that the amendments tabled by the government would “strengthen” it.<\/p>\n
“It is right that there are essential safeguards in place to protect national security, and we’ve got that balance right,” Starmer said at PMQs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caroline Curry, whose son Liam Curry, 19, was killed in the bombing, said she was “devastated” about amendments…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-370198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
