Hillsborough disaster: Police to respond to Bishop's reportBishop James Jones has criticised the fact the government is yet to respond to his 2017 report. They didn't go on this long about WW2. Took them long enough as usual. Just been watching clips of the verdicts. So sad to see everyone rejoicing that day yet still haven't achieved complete closure. Some of them sadly no longer here. Five years is a long time to respond to a report. How much longer are the government going to take before they respond too?

What is Scorpion, the now disbanded police unit at the centre of Tyre Nichols' death?Some of the five officers in Memphis who have been charged with killing Tyre Nichols were appointed to the unit, which has now been permanently deactivated, which allows police to 'do what they can to arrest people', according to one former officer.
