Today is the Covid Day of Reflection.

Let’s remember & reflect.

And keep fighting for justice & change.

Well done us @cbffjuk.bsky.social who brought this complaint.

Tory Peer committed 5 breaches of standards over £50m Covid PPE deals and “did not act on his personal honour”.

Our campaign for accountability continues.....

Proud to be a member of @cbffjuk.bsky.social who brought this complaint. Lords Standards Commissioner said he “did not act on his personal honour”. I think that's the English art of understatement. More to follow.....

NEW 👀

This is what happens when ordinary people failed by the state come together to campaign for justice.

Our complaint against Lord Chadlington has been upheld: he breached standards over covid PPE deals.

Today marks the final public evidence session of the Covid-19 Inquiry.

On Tuesday evening, I was pleased to host a panel event to discuss what Parliament needs to do now with @cbffjuk.bsky.social in the House of Commons.

⚠️ Important London air pollution update for Friday 6 March.

⚠️ I’ve triggered a high pollution alert due to a forecast of particulate levels mainly caused by Saharan dust.

⚠️ Protect the most vulnerable by avoiding unnecessary car trips, engine idling and burning garden waste.

Kent County Council: stop wasting money and start prioritising Kent services KCC is planning to spend £600k on 8 parking spaces while trying to cut our libraries and tips. It's time they started serving the people. Add your name to help stop the waste:

Kent County Council is planning to spend £600k on just 8 parking spaces and £150k on personal assistants... all while trying to cut vital local services like our libraries and tips! 🤦‍♀️ We need to stop this massive waste of taxpayer money.

Covid inquiry reaches ‘bittersweet’ final day of witness testimony Campaigners say ‘hard-hitting, clear-sighted and damning’ inquiry – the most expensive in history – ‘absolutely has been worth it’

The covid inquiry hearings may have ended but our campaign continues.

Justice means ensuring all the inquiries recommendations are implemented in full.

Almost six years after my father’s avoidable death, I will be giving evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry this afternoon. Retelling what happened to my dad is hard, but not learning from the mistakes that were made is far worse.

Measles Find out about measles, a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications.

The best protection against measles is making sure you and your loved ones’ MMR or MMRV jabs are up to date. Contact your GP to check.

I feel for you. Had also clocked (except not Tory press office).

Chris Wormald forced out by Starmer as cabinet secretary Wormald steps down ‘by mutual consent’ after a year in post with Antonia Romeo expected to succeed him

NEW: Cabinet Secretary, Chris Wormald has resigned.

Time for him to reflect on his contribution to pandemic failures as made clear by the covid inquiry.

No peerage please.

Top civil servant could become third key No 10 departure in days Exclusive: Cabinet secretary Chris Wormald is expected to follow Morgan McSweeney and Tim Allan out the door

Can’t come too soon given his role in pandemic failures. Amongst other things, covid inquiry concluded he failed to correct assurances that Govt was adequately prepared.

Let’s put an end to failing upwards.

Following reports that Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald may be the next to go, we say this can’t come too soon given his role in pandemic failures & appalling evidence to the covid inquiry 👇🏻

Covid bereaved families urge Keir Starmer to strip Michelle Mone of peerage It comes as Keir Starmer ordered officials to draw up legislation to remove Peter Mandelson's title amid a growing political storm over the Jeffrey Esptein files

If the Government is serious about removing peerages from disgraced peers, let them start with Baroness Mone.

Faulty PPE killed during the pandemic. Nobody who played a role in selling it should have any role in public life.

Accountability now.

More evidence in Parliament today showing why the government needs to stop delaying the Hillsborough Law.

It's time to end the cover-up culture in Britain.

Let's make truth and transparency the default, not something that victims have to fight for.

A group of approximately 20 people of diverse ages and backgrounds pose indoors in a blue-walled room. Most are seated or standing while holding up black posters with colorful text that reads, "MARCH FOR LOVE. FOR UNITY. FOR HOPE. TOGETHER" and "LOVE IS BACK." The bottom of the posters mentions a march on Saturday, 28th March in Central London. The atmosphere is collaborative and organized, with pamphlets and bags visible on the tables in the foreground.

A large, dense crowd of protesters gathered in a public square in front of historic stone buildings under an overcast sky. Many individuals are wearing beanies and winter coats. The crowd is a sea of signs and flags; prominent light blue flags feature the "National Education Union" logo, while participants hold numerous black posters with the slogans "HOPE IS BACK" and "MARCH FOR LOVE. FOR UNITY. FOR HOPE. TOGETHER."

A large group of activists stands together in a high-ceilinged hall with brick arches and pillars. In the center, a large purple banner for the "TUC London, East & South East" is held high. Every person in the group is holding a sign, creating a wall of black posters with bold pink and white text reading "UNITY IS BACK" or the multi-colored "MARCH FOR LOVE" design. The setting appears to be a formal meeting or community space, with several people in the front row smiling at the camera.

Organised. United. Ready to fill the streets with hope and unity.
