    My son Martyn Hett was killed at Manchester arena. So I experienced terror first hand. But spreading racist material is equal to throwing petrol into a burning fire. Anger breeds anger, hate breeds hate! Please just stop all this hate campaign.

    Our beauty, our sunshine in the darkest times. You spent so many happy times loving our new garden. Our new house is so empty without your beautiful thudding feet and constant chatter and giggles. I can't bear your empty bedroom, finished only a month ago. I'm just so lost. 💔

    Today Martyn would have been 33 years old and he would have been utterly frustrated not to celebrate in style. A sunny day here where I live, yet a beautiful rainbow appeared out of nowhere and was gone thirty seconds later. Guess he said "Hi, Mum!"

    Tomorrow is the fourth anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack where we lost 22 amazing people but tomorrow also marks the anniversary of Fusilier Lee Rigby @leerigbyfdn who was murdered in 2013. Thinking about his family as well. 🥀♥️

    Martyn's Law has become an Act of Parliament and official legislation since 11.10 am today. After 6 years and 3 months it is so great to finally get there!

    Here is a letter I got of our new PM last week. I was very impressed that despite being super busy campaigning he found the time to write this letter. I respect @Keir_Starmer for that. This letter means a lot to me.

    Media asking my view on Royal Navy rescuing my son’s murderer a few years ago. I am not entering the blame game. They were doing their job and nobody could have foreseen that the devil incarnate was amongst these people. Absence of humanity/conscience is invisible.

    A very talented young man did this charcoal drawing of Martyn soon after he died. Finally got it framed & behind glass to protect it. Sadly, I cannot hang it up as it is too upsetting. It is literally like a photo. Grief is just so tough!

    Finally watched It's a Sin. All five episodes. I am old enough to remember everything only too well. It makes me proud to be Martyn's mum & how he felt totally comfortable with being gay. But goodness, so many people suffered awfully!!! So much fear, prejudice & ignorance then.

    Thank you @YvetteCooperMP for saying this. Terror attacks are an attack against the state but individuals get caught up in them through no fault of their own. #MartynsLaw will save lives & has to be prioritised.

    Standing with the victims of terror isn't a choice - it is an obligation. Labour is fully committed to Martyn's Law and will introduce it in government. @FigenMurray x.com/Telegraph/stat…
