I am delighted that Martyn's Law was included in yesterday's King Speech…
Although #martynslaw was included in the King's Speech last year, this time it feels very different. I feel that we've overcome another hurdle and I'm feeling optimistic and confident that the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, will introduce the bill to parliament soon.
I was grateful that despite a very busy schedule, Keir Starmer found the time to personally write to me during his election campaign to personally commit to introducing Martyn's Law to parliament.
But this does not mark the end of the campaign and I can assure everyone that I, along with Nick Aldworth MPA CSyP Brendan Cox Nathan Emmerich and security experts, will not stop until Martyn's Law becomes enshrined in UK legislation.
Please do read this excellent piece from Judith Moritz who has been instrumental in raising the profile of the campaign and ensuring that Martyn's Law continues to cut through in the media.
