MANY people watching PMQs will have spotted that the leader of the Labour Party is wearing a green heart.
Keir Starmer clashed with Rishi Sunak over Boris Johnson’s honours list in the House of Commons.
But why is Starmer wearing a green heart and what does it represent?
Why is Keir Starmer wearing a green heart?
The heart commemorates victims of the Grenfell Tower disaster which took place on June 14 2017.
The UK Government has pledged to support a “fitting and lasting memorial” to honour the 72 people who died.
The heart was created to honour all those who were impacted by the tragedy.
On a Facebook page called Grenfell speaks, it is said that the heart is a symbol of “hope, unity and love” and “to remember those that were lost on June 14 2017”.
Stephen Flynn also paid tribute to the victims of Grenfell during his question at PMQs.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
