The Prime Minister was criticised for alleged delays in implementing a law

Rishi Sunak faced a confrontation from the mother of a son who lost his life in the Manchester Arena bombing live on radio.

The Tory manifesto last week made a commitment to bring forth this legislation aimed at bolstering defences against terrorist acts. However, on Wednesday, Ms Murray expressed her frustration to Mr Sunak, pointing out the lack of progress since his promise 18 months prior to "hurry up" with the law's passage.During an LBC Radio phone-in, she stated: "You have put in your manifesto that Martyn's Law is a priority.

“There has been nothing since then. So what exactly do you mean by prioritising? Can you please put a number, a figure to it in terms of how many months that’s going to still be?” It is “reasonable” to take the time to ensure the law is effective because “it will impact thousands and thousands of businesses”, he added.
