WATCH IN FULL: Keir Starmer makes the first speech at Labour Party Conference

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has opened the Labour Party Conference this weekend discussing the new Hillsborough Law that will place a legal duty of candour on all public officials to prevent cover-ups like those seen after some of Britain’s worst scandals.

The law, demanded for years by the families of those who died at Hillsborough, will require officials to act with honesty and integrity at all times.

Under the plans, public servants who mislead the public could face criminal prosecution, with a new offence created to punish those who cover up the truth.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
