"My message to Government a year ago was 'Get on with it!" My message today is - 'Seriously?!" England's Patient Safety Commissioner @pscommissioner.bsky.social tells me it's "disgraceful" that the Govt has yet to respond to a two year old report, urging compensation for medical scandal victims:

The MP for Liverpool West Derby says he will scrutinise the Hillsborough Law bill "line by line" to make sure it's a fitting legacy for the 97. @ianbyrnemp.bsky.social is himself a survivor of the disaster and says there will be "vested interests who will try to de-fang this"

A huge moment for bereaved families, survivors and MPs as the Hillsborough Law is introduced to parliament. Here's what it could mean for honesty in public life, in a bid to eradicate "cover up culture": www.itv.com/news/granada...

The #GranadaDebate returns at 22:45. Will a new grooming gangs inquiry really deliver change for survivors? Who were the winners / losers of the Govt's spending review? And is paternity leave in need of a rethink? 🔴 @connornaismithmp.bsky.social 🟡 @lisasmartmp.bsky.social 🔵 Cllr Nadim Muslim

"The North has always been a place of innovation, industry, and immense potential – but for too long, we’ve been held back by a lack of investment in the infrastructure needed to match our ambition. The Northern Arc is about changing that story:"

The North West's Metro Mayors were in parliament today urging the Government to invest in a new railway between Manchester and Liverpool @metromayorsteve.bsky.social and @andyburnham.bsky.social say it's the missing piece in their plan for the "Northern Arc" - a growth corridor across the North.

The MP for Southport is calling for an urgent review of Axel Rudakubana's sentence, saying it's "unduly lenient" and his community "deserves nothing less" than that the killer spends his whole life behind bars.

But some real anger and disappointment from areas where they have seen the projects pushed back by a decade or more. @timfarron.bsky.social has urged the Health Secretary to reconsider delaying the new Lancaster Royal Infirmary site, saying "the longer we leave it, the more costs will spiral"

Wes Streeting laying the blame at his predecessor's door: "I know patients in some parts of the country will be disappointed by this new timetable - they are right to be..." "The plan I have laid out today is honest, funded, and can actually be delivered"

The Health Secretary has confirmed some of the 25 "new" hospitals promised but not funded by the last Govt will have to be delayed. In the North West that means work starts in: 2027/2028 (North Manchester General) 2035 - 2039 (Royal Lancaster Infirmary / Royal Preston Hospital)

MP Mike Amesbury has pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in the street. The MP for Runcorn and Helsby was suspended from the Labour party in October after CCTV footage emerged showing him punching a man in Frodsham town centre.

Keir Starmer has urged the Conservatives to abandon their "misguided" "wrecking amendment" calling for a national inquiry into the scandal. Kemi Badenoch warns “No one has joined the dots. No one has the total picture. And it is almost certainly still going on”

The first questions of the first PMQs of the year focus on the grooming gangs scandal amid opposition calls for a full public inquiry. PM says he's spoken to survivors this morning - "what is needed now is action about what we already know... not the delay of a further inquiry"
