@realDonaldTrump @theresa_may My son Martyn Hett was killed at Manchester arena. So I experienced terror first hand. But spreading racist material is equal to throwing petrol into a burning fire. Anger breeds anger, hate breeds hate! Please just stop all this hate campaign.

Today Martyn would have been 33 years old and he would have been utterly frustrated not to celebrate in style. A sunny day here where I live, yet a beautiful rainbow appeared out of nowhere and was gone thirty seconds later. Guess he said "Hi, Mum!"

A very talented young man did this charcoal drawing of Martyn soon after he died. Finally got it framed & behind glass to protect it. Sadly, I cannot hang it up as it is too upsetting. It is literally like a photo. Grief is just so tough!

Life has been so hectic over the past few years working frantically on #MartynsLaw I am exhausted. Taking a week out to rest & down tools! But I will be back in a few days!

So there is endless amounts of academic reading to do for the Masters. Martyn has bought a small device to take on his travels to America but never made it. I am using it now to do my studies with it. Feels like he is sat on my shoulder.

Thank you for your lovely message. I went to Christchurch three months after the mosque attacks & sat with widows in the room where so many people lost their lives, also senselessly. All this hate just has to stop. Hate is a deadly virus on this planet. I long for peace.

@FigenMurray I caught a bit of your interview on our 6pm news in Nz last night. So much strength & purpose you have even though you are broken. Kia kaha & Arohanui to you and all those affected by such senseless acts of hate. #manchester22 #martynslaw #love

MARTYN'S LAW I was invited to attend a council meeting yesterday in Manchester. The Council Executive endorses the proposed licensing changes in Manchester which will bring Martyn's Law into effect. This is due to go out to public consultation. It's happening ......👍

My lovely cat Misty is very poorly. Been told today she has stage 4 kidney failure that can't be treated. She is groggy as she has been sedated to have a blood test. She has given us 12 years & has been with us through the most traumatic time of our life.

As the day draws to a close thank you again to everyone who wrote very kind messages, liked or retweeted. It is yet again clear to me that bad will never win over good. Today I received a lot of goodness, love and kindness. And so did the rest of my family.🌺🌺🌺🌺

Listening to the @ManchesterPride vigil on Zoom. I listen in memory of Martyn and the entire LGBTQ community . Tonight my thoughts are in memory of all the people we lost. Special thoughts go to Lewis who lost one of his best friends this month. Sending love to you all.💖

Saturday afternoon doing a headcount of my kids: one at home upstairs, one on motorway to France, one in Skegness visiting grandparents, one at a birthday party and out on the town after, one is always missing!! That horrible "one seems to be missing" is not great! 😏

Just been to the memorial this morning and it was heartwarming to see the Hawthorn tree in bloom and flowers everywhere. Peaceful.

It was an absolute privilege to talk to your students about what happened and about building stronger communities and acts of kindness. Thank you for inviting me. Young people are our hope for a better future. I firmly believe that!
