The UK Parliament has approved the Hillsborough Law, a significant piece of legislation aimed at preventing state cover-ups and ensuring transparency in official investigations.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer praised campaigners for their role in pushing the bill through, emphasizing its importance for working-class communities who have historically faced systemic neglect.

The law, named after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster which claimed 97 lives, imposes a duty on public authorities to tell the truth and cooperate with inquiries.Andy Burnham, expected to replace Starmer as PM, called it a 'rewiring of the state' that shifts power to ordinary people.The bill faced delays due to debates over its application to intelligence services, but amendments cleared the way for approval.Critics, including Conservative MPs, accused the government of rushing the legislation and watering down protections for agencies like MI5.

Starmer vowed to honor his promise to Hillsborough families, while Burnham highlighted the law's legacy as a step toward justice for all citizens.
