Have we learned nothing?

Today we launch our campaign to ensure the #Covid inquiry is open, fair & robust so that we can hold this govt to account. Join us

The govt has shown contempt for truth & transparency time and again
▶️ They refused to tell us what science they were following
▶️ They withheld data
▶️ They abused emergency powers
▶️ They gave friends & donors £££s in Covid contracts
▶️ They made rules which they didn't follow

170,000 people have died. More than 1 million are living with chronic illness. It didn't need to be this way.

We're building a coalition of scientists, experts & journalists to ensure that the #Covid public inquiry gives people the answers they deserve

At the start of the pandemic we launched #IndependentSAGE to counter the government’s lack of transparency and to bring clear, transparent scientific advice into the public domain

The govt has said it will announce the ‘terms of reference’ for its public inquiry in the New Year. Independent SAGE & the Citizens have each submitted a list of key issues that need to be addressed

We'll be hosting a Twitter Spaces event at 6pm today to discuss the #Covid public inquiry with @Lobstar_A of @CovidJusticeUK, @dgurdasani1, @sophie_e_hill founder of @My_Little_Crony and @GabrielScally of #IndependentSAGE. Please join us

A rigorous #Covid public inquiry is paramount to hold the government accountable for its handling of the pandemic.

Join us for a Twitter spaces event on the inquiry this evening at 6pm, with Dr. Deepti Gursasani (@dgurdasani1).

Also joining us on the #CovidPublicInquiry Twitter spaces discussion this evening is Oluwalogbon Akinnola.

On today's Twitter spaces event on the #CovidPublicInquiry we also have with us Prof. Gabriel Scally (@GabrielScally) from the @IndependentSage.
