Mayor urged to oppose ex-Sun editor's new role

The appointment of David Dinsmore, a former editor of The Sun newspaper, to a senior role in Liverpool's city leadership has drawn criticism from the Hillsborough families. The Hillsborough disaster, which occurred in 1989, claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool football fans, and The Sun's coverage of the event was widely condemned as insensitive and inaccurate. The families of the victims have now urged the city's mayor to oppose Dinsmore's new role, citing the newspaper's past actions and the ongoing trauma experienced by the community. The article highlights the continued sensitivity surrounding the Hillsborough disaster and the importance of respecting the sentiments of those affected by the tragedy. It underscores the need for responsible leadership and the consideration of the community's well-being when making such appointments.
