He made a rather brilliant witch in wizard costume. That cheesy grin!! As parents it is totally understandable that we ask if we should have noticed something or could have done something. It is only natural. It is all so hard. Sending you much love. 🌷💕

Alexander picked his Halloween costume-he wanted to be a "witch" (it was technically a wizard costume!). He had such fun carving a pumpkin at the party. This time of year, I replay every second of the lead up. What did I miss? Could I have somehow stopped you dying? 💔 #childloss

For those mocking the PM for going on Gogglebox: It's for Stand Up to Cancer. For those mocking his tattoo: It's the Manchester Bee, done after the Manchester Arena Attack, where 22 died and 100's more were injured.

I cannot even imagine what you all went through as a family and how your lives have changed forever that day. Losing a child under such tragic circumstances is so tough and completely changes the trajectory of life as it was. Sending you much love. 💕

Eight years ago. Waiting in A&E Just moments later, our lives changed forever. In my worst nightmares I could never have imagined what was in store for us. It really can happen to anyone @BrainCancerJust @SU2CUK #bemorelaura ❤️

I wish you luck. Personally it would be more productive to bang your head against a brick wall.😑☘

To be honest I think it is simply because she has not understood how this legislation works and is making ill informed assumptions. That is why I would like to meet her.

I'll continue to cherish my time over here! I have nothing against security checks for terrorism reasons and fully support them. My issue is when those checks are for fruit and sandwiches!

Have not got the heart and time to explore other platforms and decided I will stay on but will only do very occasional tweets.

Please go in the ProtectUK website and look at what Martyn's Law actually is and how it works. Lots of misinformation by Katie Lam.

2/2 Is this decision Reasonable ? Affordable? and Proportional? For instance could the community create a pool of suitably trained volunteers? (And how many of us have faith in many contract security providers?)

I would suggest you go on the ProtectUK website and check out the two minute animations to explain a lot around the legislation. You have misunderstood as you probably only read what Katie Lam wrote. She also does not understand it.

Would a volunteer want all that extra ‘responsibility’

I am inviting @Katie_Lam_MP to have a meeting to discuss her dislike of this legislation and explain to her why it is so important. I hope she will agree to meet.

To hate Martyn's Law demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of what the legislation is and how it improves safety for those attending venues and events - @FigenMurray responds to @Katie_Lam_MP comments in the @Independent independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Tory shadow minister slammed for calling anti-terror law her ‘most hated law’

Shadow housing, communities and local government minister Katie Lam called Martyn’s law an ‘absurd set of regulations’

A poignant tribute at Buckingham Palace to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We remember those who lost their lives, and those who showed extraordinary courage in the face of terror. We will never forget them, and we will always stand with our American friends.
