To change the country. Speaking to sunday with laura kuenssberg, and in his first major interview in number 10, Sir Keir Starmer said it was vital to do difficult things now such as the cuts to pensioners Winter Fuel payments, and not run away from hard choices, which he accused previous governments of doing.

I spoke to a survivor who told me that while today is important, it will not represent a point of closure for many people who are looking for action, consequences, accountability and a path towards possible prosecution.

It has been a hard journey. I am now lucky enough to be in a position where i can run my company delivering Mental Health talks to schools and prisons. To help Raise Awareness of the real life impact of poor Mental Health because i consider myself a strong person and always had done. To see how catechism luckily i fell apart in the wake of the fire the cataclysm of how i fell apart in the wake of the fire it was scary to realise you can go from Sound Mind being competent and confident, a good father and confident, a good father and partner, good firefighter and partner, good Firefighter And Friend to then becoming bad in all those areas.
