Soon there might be justice for Hillsborough, but Scousers always knew the truth

From Where I Stand — The news that six people will be charged with offences relating to the Hillsborough disaster is welcome, but let's be clear - this comes 28 years too late.

Stop sneering at the Grenfell Tower 'conspiracy theories'

From Where I Stand — There's nothing funny about confusion after trauma. Victims and their loved ones have every right to distrust the state right now. The fact that you're mocking working class communities in mourning says it all.

I learned first-hand how harmful Tim Farron's views on gay people are

From Where I Stand — Tim Farron's resignation as Lib Dem leader sees him playing the victim, but the reality is Britain has rejected his outdated views that caused me and other young gay men so much pain.

Don't you dare say the fatal Grenfell Tower fire is not 'political'

From Where I Stand — From poor safety standards to Tories rejecting laws to make all homes fit for human habitation, this morning’s tragedy in London is a political matter.

Young people have proven we aren't apathetic, now let us speak for ourselves

From Where I Stand — Young people have been ignored, spoken over and sidelined by the British media for far too long, after last week's general election that needs to change.

I'm a newly elected LGBT Labour MP, and I won't let the DUP take control of Westminster

From Where I Stand — Newly elected Lloyd Russell-Moyle is one of 45 LGBT MPs in Westminster, with a constituency in Kemptown that's proudly diverse. It's why he's set to fightback against Theresa May's plans to jump into bed with the homophobic DUP.

After this general election, I’m finally proud to be British

From Where I Stand — It's a strange feeling, for someone who for so long despaired at the state of the United Kingdom, to now feel proud of its people.

They say we can't win, but on Thursday vote Labour anyway

From Where I Stand — They've told us we'll lose and that we're stupid, that Labour is dead and we don't deserve a better quality of life. Do you know what? Josie Long reckons you should just vote Labour anyway.

Stop calling Jeremy Corbyn an IRA terrorist sympathiser, it's simply not true

From Where I Stand — Both Jeremy Corbyn’s opponents in politics and the media have long been desperate to use the Labour leader’s nuanced stance on the conflict in Ireland to paint him as an extremist with contempt for the British state. But Corbyn’s compassionate approach to negotiating peace and understanding has been consistent for decades, and was ultimately proved correct, argues James Butler.

Does Theresa May have a secret plan to keep Britain in the European Union?

We have no proof, but who cares! — There's quite literally no evidence to suggest this is true. It's fake news. But this election is increasingly dominated by false stories and non-facts. Both the Conservative Party and our right-wing press are responsible.
