This is my wonderful Dad opening the first copies of his first published book 2 wks ago. Today we lost him to Covid-19. He wasn't ready to leave us and we weren't ready to let him go. He isn't a statistic and his health conditions didn't make him expendable. Will miss him forever

Was sad to have to cancel the launch of our 72 yr old author’s photography book (One Saturday in 82 on Broadway Market) but this vid of him & his wife seeing it for the 1st time has warmed our hearts. #BroadwayMarket #Hackney #E8 ❤️ Buy your copy here >>> ownit.london/shop/one-satur…

The likes of Matt Hancock continue to claim the NHS wasn't overwhelmed during the pandemic. Experts like Dr Kevin Fong exposed that myth during the inquiry hearings. On Thursday, the inquiry must be clear: years of austerity left the NHS overwhelmed and unprepared.

Today is the Day of Reflection. A day to remember the lives lost since the pandemic began. We will never forget them. In their name, we will keep fighting for justice.

So proud and in awe of @MattC19BFFJUK who has never once wavered in his determination and commitment to this cause. As the inquiry hearings end, we now look ahead to what we know will be many years more campaigning to secure the changes needed to save lives in a future pandemic.
Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK@CovidJusticeUK

After years of evidence, the @covidinquiryuk hearings end today. The Inquiry will publish 8 reports over the next 2 years that will provide a blueprint for changing this country and saving lives. But that change will only happen if we fight for it.

Boris Johnson has broken his silence with an attack on the Covid bereaved for "wrangling" on about the deaths of our loved ones. He has no place in public life and must be stripped of all his ex-PM privileges. If you agree, sign our petition: change.org/STOPFUNDINGJOH…

Boris Johnson’s silence is deafening, and his contempt for the bereaved is clear. His actions during the pandemic amount to one of the gravest betrayals of the British public in history. His decisions cost tens of thousands of lives that could and should have been saved. 1/4

5 years ago, we projected a video onto Parliament, demanding Boris Johnson meet us and call a Public Inquiry Tomorrow, that Inquiry delivers its verdict on the political leadership that oversaw the loss of more than 230,000 of our loved ones. It's time for accountability.

Huge gratitude and respect to the Friends of the Wall @CovidMemorialUK for all the work they've put into sustaining the wall and ensuring its preservation over the years since its creation ❤️

An important day for Covid memorialisation. The wall must live on as a stark reminder that the loss of our loved ones was not purely the result of an unprecedented public health challenge, but of political decision making and a failure to prioritise our most vulnerable.
Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK@CovidJusticeUK

Four years after we created the Covid Memorial Wall in a guerrilla action born out of grief and determination, the Government has now announced it will be made permanent. This is a powerful step towards ensuring our loved ones are never forgotten.

Trussell@TrussellUK·
The two-child limit is pushing children to hardship, punishing them for having siblings. Families with 3+ kids are twice as likely to face hunger. If the UK government doesn't act, they risk forcing more families to food banks. Read more @NewStatesman⤵️ newstatesman.com/spotlight/pove…

'There you go again discussing a perfect world'. @MattHancock perfectly encapsulates Anna Morris KC's reference to a 'chorus of denial' in her closing statement for Bereaved Families. We didn't need perfection. Putting public health before profit would have been enough.

In Module 1, the Inquiry heard a very clear message from Prof. Sir Michael Marmot; External shocks expose and amplify underlying inequalities in society. The consequences of increasing poverty and inequality are deadly. That is a pandemic lesson the government is ignoring.

🧵 Did you know that food banks provide advice with money matters? Alongside emergency parcels, food banks provide practical support to people who've been left without enough money to live on. When someone is going through a tough time, this support helps to take pressure off.

Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social
And here he breaks down while explaining the absolute trauma experienced by smaller hospitals in particular - the "healthier" ICU patients were transferred out, leaving them coping with so much death. They felt so alone.

The then Conservative government’s failure to prepare for the pandemic lead to the deaths of more than 230,000 in the UK, incl my Dad’s. It breaks my heart to think Dad might still be alive had they prioritised preserving life. A part me died the day Dad died. #covidinquiryUK
