The Hillsborough Law could finally become reality before the summer is out. If so, will it be Starmer's achievement - or a victory in spite of him?

Campaigners for the so-called ‘Hillsborough Law’ have called for it to be passed by the end of the summer, saying it could be departing prime minister Keir Starmer’s legacy.
