🚨🧵UPDATE: On Tuesday, a petition with 177,581 signatories, backing the inclusion of ‘Awaab’s Law’ in the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill, was delivered to 10 Downing Street (1/5)
The petition, created by @MENnewsdesk's brilliant @stetopping, was handed over by Awaab’s father, Faisal. The petition was hosted and promoted by @Change and supported by @Shelter, @tony4rochdale and @RLong_Bailey (2/5)
Following support from @michaelgove, Awaab’s Law was added to the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill. We were present at the House of Lords as the Bill was discussed for the final time before going for Royal Assent (3/5)
It's been a huge honour to be a part of such a dedicated team and it's brilliant that something positive has come out of something so tragic. We are all incredibly grateful to everybody who took time out of their day to support and share the petition (4/5)
The @MENnewsdesk has produced a fantastic piece explaining all that has taken place: manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m… A statement from @KellyDarl1, the family's solicitor and I can be found below (5/5):
