Hillsborough files: 100,000 sign online petition
A petition calling for Hillsborough disaster Cabinet papers to be released has reached 100,000 signatures - enough for a Commons debate to be considered.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and Newcastle United player Joey Barton used Twitter to urge people to sign the Home Office website petition.
It follows a ruling by Information Commissioner Christopher Graham that the papers should be published.
E-petitions with 100,000 signatures must be considered for debate.
