Today, bereaved families travelled from all over the country to ‘walk the wall’ together, in an act of solidarity and support for one another. 480 families also wrote to their MP’s asking them to join us.

1/5 #CovidInquiryNow

It’s heartbreaking to see new families who have recently lost loved ones joining our group, having gone through the same experiences that we had 18 months ago.

2/5 #CovidInquiryNow

With nearly 1,000 deaths in the last week, it’s becoming clear that by kicking the UK inquiry down the road for as long as poss, the Government is failing to learn the lessons that will save lives. People could be dying unnecessarily as a direct consequence.

3/4 #CovidInquiryNow

Their excuses that they are “too busy” are hardly convincing when restrictions have been entirely lifted and Scotland have been able to start work on theirs.

4/5 #CovidInquiryNow

It’s disappointing that neither Boris Johnson/any Conservative front benchers came today. If they are serious about protecting lives in this country, they must start listening to bereaved families and bring the inquiry forward so that lessons can be learnt asap #CovidInquiryNow
