#covidinquiry found clear evidence that Matt Hancock lied when he said he'd thrown 'a protective ring' around the care sector in May 2020.
Thousands died avoidable deaths, including my mum.
Support us in holding him to account by signing and sharing this petition 👇

Last week's Covid Inquiry report into care was a devastating verdict on Matt Hancock's failures during the pandemic.
His response: silence.
He doesn't care.
Show him we still do; sign our petition to hold him accountable.

Glorious morning for a #wildswim in the North Sea….except that Southern Water (by their own admission) poured sh-t into the sea last night for 5 hours, 11 mins.
Nationalise water companies please.

Following the Covid Inquiry's damning verdict on Matt Hancock we've launched a petition to remove him from the Privy Council.
His actions led to thousands of avoidable deaths.
This is a first symbolic step towards accountability.

Thank you @andyburnham.bsky.social for agreeing to meet with us.
We look forward to discussing urgency to implement #covidinquiry recommendations in full to ensure no-one experiences what we have.
It will make our country stronger & resilient to whaever shocks hit us.
@cbffjuk.bsky.social
Thank you, Prime Minister for highlighting how vulnerable our care sector was going into the pandemic.
@andyburnham.bsky.social will you meet with bereaved families to discuss turning the Covid Inquiry's care report into real change?

The UK Covid-19 Inquiry published its report into care today.
Our loved ones were failed by a Government that abandoned them and left them to die. Action must be taken now to prevent a tragedy like this happening again.
Here is our statement:
Can’t come soon enough.
Man sitting behind me on train is doing this right now. Thought about letting him know about Andy’s campaign…..but somehow don’t think he’d appreciate it.

👀 #covidinquiry report on social care published tomorrow.
Impt thread: key issues 👇🏻
We can’t allow devastating consequences of under-funded, fragmented care sector to be repeated in next pandemic. Thousands died unnecessarily, including my mum.
National Care Service now.
@cbffjuk.bsky.social
The Covid Inquiry's report on social care will be published tomorrow at 12pm.
For bereaved families, this is one of the most important modules of the Inquiry.
Here are the key issues we want it to address. 🧵

Thousands of lives could have been saved.
Prime Minister @andyburnham, meet with us and commit to implementing the Covid Inquiry’s recommendations in full.
More lives depend on getting this right.

"The impact of the attacks has been felt in Jewish communities across the world. In the years since, we have seen a disturbing rise in antisemitic behaviour in the UK. An attack on Jewish people in Britain is an attack on all of us."

Bereaved families shouldn’t have to do this, but in the absence of a formal, independent monitoring mechanism, we’re doing it to help keep us all safe.
How do we know whether the recommendations from the Covid-19 Inquiry are actually translating into change?

"The bereaved families fought for years to secure this Inquiry when many in Government wanted to move on, and they will continue pressing for accountability."
A new blog by @profnaomifulop.bsky.social on the hub this month. www.pslhub.org/learn/corona...
In this new blog @profnaomifulop.bsky.social argues that although the UK Covid-19 Inquiry has exposed serious systemic failures around the procurement of personal protective equipment, meaningful accountability remains largely absent. www.pslhub.org/learn/corona...
The #covidinquiry laid bare the PPE procurement scandal: how some people profited from selling the UK Govt unuseable PPE while others died because PPE was inadequate, including my mum.

Without true accountability, we won’t be protected for the future.

The PPE scandal has been exposed. Why has almost nobody been held responsible?

Will be updated in real time.
Bereaved families shouldn’t have to do this but we are ‘cos we want to keep us all safe.
@lawrencedunhill.bsky.social
Bereaved families fought hard to get the Covid Inquiry set up -but what really matters is the changes it leads to
That’s why we’ve today launched an Inquiry Recommendations Tracker - the 1st of its kind - to monitor & assess the implementation phase

Today, the Hillsborough Law has its second reading in the House of Lords.
Covid-bereaved families know the cost of being forced to fight powerful institutions for the truth.
We stand with everyone who fought for this law. Peers must pass it in full.
This former top civil servant was publicly criticised by covid inquiry.
His reward?
Peerage.….& now we discover, very large pay-off.
@cbffjuk.bsky.social
Chris Wormald’s failures during the pandemic “obscured reality and the need for more action”, according to the Covid Inquiry.
He was rewarded with a peerage
Now we learn he received a record £500,000 payout after being sacked.
Reward for failure.

Long Covid imposes a significant burden on individuals, public health systems and the economy across the globe. As the effort to understand and treat this condition continues, on our blog Professor Charles Bangham FRS considers five key questions: https://royalsociety.org/blog/2026/07/long-covid/
The man who was the most senior civil servant at the Dept of Health & Social Care advocated ‘chicken pox parties’ in March 2020 has been awarded a peerage.
Covid inquiry found that he ‘obscured reality & the need for more action.’
Not happy.
@cbffjuk.bsky.social
It is shocking that Chris Wormald has been given a peerage.
Wormald was singled out by the Covid Inquiry for having 'obscured reality' during the pandemic.
He was at the heart of the failures that cost the lives of our loved ones.
Why has he been rewarded for that failure?
👀 Read impt covid inquiry report findings on UK Govt ‘VIP lane’ used to procure PPE frm people with political connections incl friend of Michael Gove’s who ran a fashion company.
PPE bought through VIP lane was of poorer quality & higher cost.
@lawrencedunhill.bsky.social@cbffjuk.bsky.social
The Covid-19 Inquiry has today released its findings on Module 5, including the ‘VIP Lane’, which enabled suppliers with political connections to win huge PPE contracts during the pandemic

My Dad was a London bus driver who contracted Covid and died, because he had no PPE or modifications on his bus. So it breaks my heart to have it confirmed that £10bn was wasted on PPE that was not fit for purpose. How many deaths could have been avoided had the Conservatives used proper channels.

For me, Starmer's greatest achievement will always be taking a Labour party rotten with antisemitism (which many people seem to have either forgotten or found it in their interests to deny, despite the EHRC ruling) and transforming it into a serious political party again.
I thank him for that.
Nigel Farage wants the Clacton by-election to be seen as “people vs establishment”.
But the private-school educated, highest-earning MP is struggling to sell it.

Covid Bereaved Families for Justice UK are proud to
be part of @hillsboroughlawnow campaign.
We celebrate with others wrestling justice from the state the passing of Hillsborough Law. This law will be for everyone.

"The Covid-19 inquiry’s procurement report and the Hillsborough law are not accidental companions...In both cases the movement for justice was driven by ordinary people who refused to let institutions control the account of their own failures."

We will continue our campaign until every recommendation is implemented and everyone who put profit before people is held to account.
We will not stop until that work is done.

Rupert Lowe MP told Joe Rogan, on his podcast, that he was a “pure blood” for refusing a Covid vaccine.
Vaccines saved 14m+ lives globally in their first year. Covid death rates were 32x higher in unvaccinated people.
Lowe’s dangerous conspiracy theories put lives at risk.
