Phil Hammond, extraordinary fighter for truth and justice after the Hillsborough disaster, has died. Phil and his wife Hilda’s son Philip, 14, was one of the 97 people unlawfully killed. Phil chaired the Hillsborough Family Support Group for many years. A wonderful man, RIP.
@HillsboroughSu1 All at LFC are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Phil Hammond. He lost his 14-year-old son Philip at Hillsborough, went on to become Chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group and helped lead the fight for justice for the 97. RIP Phil. YNWA ❤️

David Davis spoke in Parliament just now saying the trial of Lucy Letby was a “clear miscarriage of justice”, based on “so-called” medical expert evidence that was wrong.

Must-read on Britain's / Labour's stance on reparations, by @aamnamohdin: 'Many experts felt it showed deep ignorance ... It displays a gap in race and equality policymaking in No 10, which confirmed that Starmer does not have a specific race adviser.'

"Whether there are or may be issues arising from the first trial which have yet to be the subject of judicial consideration is not for us to say ... This application will not involve any detailed analysis of the evidence ... at the first trial or the re-trial."

The Thirlwall public inquiry dismissed as ‘noise’ mounting concerns that the Lucy Letby trial could have been a miscarriage of justice. But criticism grows; leading doctors challenging the medical evidence. Piece here reveals new concerns about the case.

Obituary of the remarkable Lord Herman Ouseley, who fought racism so fiercely and effectively, in football for @kickitout, and in wider society, during his distinguished career. RIP.

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Lord Herman Ouseley. He was an inspirational and relentless fighter against racism, in football and society. Tribute to him here by @Towno10, who worked with him at @kickitout.

Must-read on Al Fayed by then Vanity Fair editor: brave women came forward in the 90s, the magazine had formidable evidence of his abuse, but settled the libel case after Diana and Dodi died. Fayed carried on for years after that, and reaped popularity through Fulham FC.
This is me on the ‘97 Vanity Fair case against Fayed - what we knew, why we had to settle and what happened to our extensive evidence of his criminality. Remorseless, ruthless, racist’ Mohamed Al Fayed | The Guardian

Fulham FC’s fulsome tribute and ‘gratitude’ to ‘wise, colourful and committed’ Mohamed Al Fayed when he died last year; Taking over a football club and putting money in to buy success has always brought with it priceless PR.
