@DrChrisParry @UKLabour How about justice for the victims of the Pakistani Muslim raping gangs ?
Justice for the victims of the Mid Staffs scandal ?

😂😂😂😂😂
@UKLabour is incapable of decency in public life.

"We cannot take that hurt away tonight, but we can put decency back at the heart of the British state, and that is what this bill does." With the Hillsborough Law set to be approved in the Commons, Andy Burnham says he hopes it "ends the cover-up culture" many have faced in the country.

@KHarveyProctor @DPJHodges @policylaila can you confirm if you are a Murtad Muslim ??
If not it's very hypocritical to go after Harvey when your Mohammed is a paedophile and rapist ....

I have set out the facts as they were. I have no reason to lie, nor have I sought to hide what happened nearly 40 years ago. It remains painful to discuss. The media onslaught at the time was unbearable, on me & my family.
I was a victim, just like many gay men who were victim of homophobic, unequal laws.
People are entitled to disagree with me. What concerns me is that neither you nor your colleagues have condemned Mr Yusuf’s personal attacks & stirring up hatred at such a volatile, dangerous time. The longer Reform remains silent, the more it risks appearing complicit in that style of politics.
My original point was never about my past. It was that politicians should respect the police’s request not to speculate during a live murder investigation. I continue to believe that was the right course.

Harvey, I’m the mum of a 17-year-old. I know how vulnerable they are. You say you believed he was over 21. That’s your account. But what I find so disturbing is that you’re still presenting yourself as the victim. No legal argument or historical revision will ever persuade decent people that this is something to defend rather than deeply regret.

Mr Yusuf, For the avoidance of doubt, I pleaded guilty in 1987 to an offence of gross indecency under laws that discriminated against homosexual men. The age of consent was then 21 for gay men & 16 for heterosexuals. Those discriminatory offences no longer exist. Also, the individual who was 17 was ‘wired for sound’ by Robert Maxwell’s paper. He said on the tape he was over 21. Unfortunately, there was a lacuna in the law in 1987 which provided heterosexuals with a defence. If heterosexuals believed those they had sexual relations with were of consensual age, & the jury believed this, then they could find the accused not guilty. No such defence pertained to homosexuals. If the younger person was under 21, the offence was committed. I did not realise this lacuna in the law existed until my lawyer, Sir David Napley, informed me. I then told him immediately I would plead guilty. Parliament has since recognised that these laws were unjust. Under the so-called “Alan Turing law”, people convicted of consensual homosexual offences under repealed legislation can have those convictions disregarded & pardoned as part of righting historic wrongs. Also, what I did was neither gross nor indecent. It was done in private and between consenting adults. I have never hidden any of this. What you are doing is attempting to weaponise a historic conviction under discriminatory laws to discredit me because you disagree with my views, & blind loyalty. That is your choice. My point remains unchanged: politicians should respect the police’s request not to speculate during a live murder investigation. Personal abuse is no answer to a principled argument. You are free to criticise me, & to answer a principled argument with personal abuse & character assassination - however unbecoming - but personal vilification is no substitute for civil debate. Ann Widdecombe believed in decency, free speech & the rule of law - which is why she stood by me and offered me practical, private & public support throughout my ordeals. I rather think she would have expected better.

Accountability?
Justice ?

Without accountability, there can be no justice.
Hillsborough changed who I was as a person and as a politician.

Harvey, You pled guilty to paying a 17 year old boy for sex. When you were 39. This is “disgrace”. Given you claim to have “nothing to apologise for” I feel compelled to inform you: *this conduct is still illegal today*. You went to your party’s client press to condemn Nigel - who was also grieving for Ann - for asking questions that are now totally vindicated. All to score a cheap party political point. This is “depraved”.

Harvey Proctor@KHarveyProctor
Excuse me, @ZiaYusufUK? You call me “disgraced”. I was the victim of discriminatory laws in the 1980s & later falsely accused of serial child murder & sexual abuse. The only disgrace here is your attempt to weaponise those injustices for political point-scoring & blind loyalty. You call me “depraved” simply because I disagree with you. I have nothing to apologise for. I have consistently said that no one should speculate about the motive for Ann Widdecombe’s tragic death while the police investigation is under way - including politicians. I appreciate you feel obliged to defend your party leader. But the rule of law, justice - & respect for Ann’s memory - must come before party loyalty. Respecting the police & the rule of law is not disgraceful; it is the responsible course of action. Moreover, @Nigel_Farage is perfectly entitled to his views. Equally, I am entitled to mine. What he & his colleagues are not entitled to do is seek to silence or abuse those who express a different opinion. Calling me “depraved” because I criticised Mr Farage’s public speculation is no substitute for reasoned debate. Ann, a lifelong champion of free speech, would never have resorted to such personal abuse. As someone who describes themselves as ‘shadow home secretary’, I thought you’d appreciate all of the above.

.@LindsayHoyle_MP is an absolutely outstanding Speaker. Scrupulously fair. That’s my honest opinion. I was a massive fan of Speaker Bercow as well to be honest. This speaker is outstanding. Down to earth and fiercely protective of the House and its members.

A great way to avoid being detained in a foreign country is to not go to said foreign country for the express purpose of being detained.

At the Palestine Donor Group event today with the Palestinian Prime Minister and international partners. The UK is providing £10m for the UN Horizon Fund to support Palestinian led recovery in Gaza, where the appalling humanitarian crisis continues. Israeli Government restrictions preventing basic aid and shelter for Gaza are immoral and must be urgently lifted. We need renewed international support for the Gaza peace process to bring security and peace to the region.

This morning, I preached at the York Minster. As we gather for General Synod this week and look to grow as a church, we heard a reading from Isaiah, who offers a beautiful image of God tending the soil. This is a good image for us to think about as a church, and it is the work of each of us, if we are to rebuild trust and grow hope.
That work is already underway. I have seen that soil tended in parishes, churches and communities around the country, making space for hearts to be transformed by the seed of God’s word. It is inspiring to see the life of the church, in the ordinary lives of God’s people doing extraordinary things. I pray that we can recognise God at work - tending the soil in which trust grows, lives can be changed, and hope restored.
