Next Tuesday, one of the most anticipated Covid Inquiry reports is published, covering the tragic consequences of the Govt’s procurement failures. This will include the infamous ‘VIP lane’ which enabled politically connected individuals to make enormous profits. 1/11 🧵

The BBC reports Baroness Mone is among the individuals being sued as part of efforts to recover PPE Medpro millions. £122m plus interest was awarded to the government after the firm breached its contract. The public deserves every penny back. bbc.co.uk/news/article... 1/2

Starmer promised to deliver the Hillsborough Law as Prime Minister. He can still keep that promise, but must act quickly. We urge him to listen to Ian Byrne MP and get it done. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

👀 Reminder ahead of Makerfield by-election tomorrow: Reform’s candidate Robert Kenyon has been reported promoting Covid and anti-vax conspiracy theories ⬇️ A danger to public health. @cbffjuk.bsky.social

And Sunderland still has nothing, despite some of us campaigning for 5 years. Every city should have one. Every. City.

A new moving memorial to the victims of Covid in Surrey. Thank you to all those who made it happen. Sadly, in many places across the UK, there are no memorials to the thousands killed by Covid. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Leading public health and virology experts are warning that the Government’s decision to cut ALL funding to the Pandemic Fund is dangerous and short-sighted. thetimes.com/uk/science/a... Lessons from COVID are being forgotten. 1/2

Delighted to welcome @lawrencedunhill.bsky.social to @cbffjuk.bsky.social to work with us to monitor the Govt's response to #covidinquiry recommendations. We'll continue to hold the Govt's feet to the fire to ensure we're prepared for the next pandemic. We're not going away.

This week I start a major project to analyse Govt's response to the Covid Inquiry (the largest public inquiry in UK history) - @cbffjuk.bsky.social Looking back @ 30 public inquires into health scandals & over the last 3 decades - it's alarming how few recommendations were ever implemented 1/

Our members Hayley and her daughter Terri were interviewed by BBC Radio Manchester today about our campaign for a Covid memorial in Manchester. Manchester City Council have responded by saying they have planted trees. Not good enough. Our loved ones deserve a proper memorial. 1/2

Thousands died across Greater Manchester and the North West. More than 6 years later, Manchester still has no dedicated Covid memorial. Sign our petition calling on Manchester leaders to deliver one: c.org/sB4xs54kCY They must never be forgotten.

Reform’s Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon has been reported promoting Covid and anti-vax conspiracy theories. These views are a danger to public health and an insult to the more than 230,000 people killed by Covid. 1/4 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Michelle Mone has once again signed herself off from the Lords rather than resigning. Every day she keeps her peerage is an insult to loved ones who died amid PPE shortages. The Government promised powers to remove peerages. She must be first in line. c.org/gbc654vJtx

Global health crises also create global refugee crises. This is beyond short-sighted by the UK Government and threatens to displace 1,000s people as well as damage health. So much for lessons learned. Please write to your MP. Link below.

Another pandemic is inevitable. A new report warns disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent, more damaging and harder to contain. So why has the Government just cut ALL support for a fund set up to stop outbreaks becoming global crises? 🧵 1/8 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Very pleased to hear Govt plans to enable peerages to be removed. Let’s make Baroness Michelle Mone the first one please - sign petition below: @cbffjuk.bsky.social

We welcome the announcement in the King's Speech that the Government will introduce legislation to enable peerages to be removed. If you agree that Michelle Mone should be one of the first to be stripped of their peerage, sign our petition below: t.co/s7C22Nx7GO

👀UK Govt has cut funding to Global Pandemic Fund.... .....despite their Pandemic Preparedness Strategy (published 6 days after this decision) stating the importance of global resilience to the UK's preparedness for pandemics. Unjoined-up and unsafe. @cbffjuk.bsky.social @longcovidjustice.org

The Hantavirus outbreak shows why we need a global approach to pandemic preparedness. Yet the Gov just cut ALL funding to the Global Pandemic Fund. A decision that makes Britain less safe. ⬇️Tell your MP to oppose this reckless decision ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

The Government has quietly announced it is axing funding for global pandemic prevention. This puts lives at risk and makes us all less safe. Write to your MP today and urge them to oppose this reckless decision: actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Today we’ve written to the Foreign Secretary, urging her to reverse the decision to axe funding to the global pandemic fund. The Government had committed just 0.0004% of annual spending to global pandemic prevention. Now, even that has been cut. This decision must be reversed.

Misinformation and conspiracy theories about Covid vaccines are growing. They put lives at risk. The Covid Inquiry has found that vaccines were safe, saved millions of lives worldwide, and helped end the pandemic. These are the facts:

👀 Bingo: Reform UK candidate reveals Covid conspiracy beliefs & antisemitism all in one. Still eagerly awaiting response from Mr Farage to our letter urging him to act….. @cbffjuk.bsky.social @josiahmortimer.bsky.social @longcovidjustice.org

Yet more evidence that Reform UK has a Covid Conspiracy problem. A candidate in Swindon has endorsed antisemitic claims that the pandemic was "planned" by "the Rothchilds". Last week, we wrote to Nigel Farage urging him to act. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Nigel Farage must act. Anti-vax conspiracy theories are a threat to public health and an insult to those we lost. They have no place in our politics. bylinetimes.com/2026/04/20/b...

We’ve written to Mr Farage about this Reform UK candidate & others who deny covid & make false claims about the covid vaccine. Looking forward to his reply after he has ‘looked into’ them. Swift action needs to be taken to remove them. @cbffjuk.bsky.social @josiahmortimer.bsky.social

This letter from Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK deserves a serious and immediate response from the leader of Reform UK

Unsurprising yet horrific this is needed. And speaking as one of so many whose relative died of Covid in a care home, alongside seeing the lives of dear friends ravaged by long Covid. Thanks to @cbffjuk.bsky.social for speaking truth to those in & seeking power.

Today, we wrote to Nigel Farage following a string of stories in recent weeks exposing Reform candidates pushing Covid and vaccine conspiracy theories. We are calling on him to remove any candidate found to have promoted these views. 1/7 🧵

Today, the Covid Inquiry published its fourth report, on vaccines and therapeutics. It says the vaccine rollout was a success. But unless trust in vaccines is rebuilt and manufacturing capacity increased, we will be relying on luck when the next pandemic hits. 🧵 1/9

I am back at the Covid Inquiry for the publication of the Module 4 Report on Vaccines and Therapeutics. We hope the relative successes in vaccines will not mask the catastrophic failures in therapeutics.

We hope the report acknowledges the £millions wasted and also the devastating evidence that despite all we learned from the pandemic, we are in a worse position for making our own vaccines today than we were before Covid-19 struck. @bjcsolicitors.bsky.social represent @cbffjuk.bsky.social

Conspiracy theories claiming Covid-19 was a “staged event” are an insult to all who lost loved ones and a threat to public health. Reform must remove David Booth as a candidate and clearly disown these dangerous lies. bylinetimes.com/2026/04/15/r...

Tomorrow, the Covid Inquiry publishes its report on vaccines and therapeutics. Covid vaccines saved countless lives and helped end the emergency stage of the pandemic. The report must now drive urgent action to strengthen preparedness, tackle misinformation and ensure equal access to vaccines.

Two of our members are walking 70 miles in memory of the people they lost to Covid-19, and to raise money for our fight for truth, accountability and justice. You can support them by donating, sharing, or even joining them along the way. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/dyR5XYZ...

At 12pm next Thursday, @covidinquiryuk will publish its 4th report, on vaccines and therapeutics. Here is what the Inquiry’s report must do. 🧵 1/10

Proud to be one of 1000s who painted that first day and many days that followed ♥️

5 years ago today, we created the National Covid Memorial Wall. A wall of hearts, each one representing a life lost. Matt Fowler painted the first heart. He shares how it happend, and why it still matters. ⬇️ www.covidfamiliesforjustice.org/latestnews/5...

A must-read from @chrischirp.bsky.social on the 'avoidable horror' of the second Covid wave. The Government must act quickly on the findings of the inquiry. Failing to do so will cost lives. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

The Hillsborough Law continues to be delayed despite it being a manifesto promise and the PM personally promising campaigners. A coalition of bereaved families and survivors of state failures have written today to the PM and the Cabinet demanding action. Just get on with it. @cbffjuk.bsky.social

The PM’s failure to reintroduce the Hillsborough Law is an insult. If it had already been in force, the Covid Inquiry could have reached the truth faster, without the Chair having to go to the High Court for full WhatsApp disclosure. The Government must keep its promise.

Pleased to speak to @martin belam for @theguardian.com Friday briefing on what latest #covidinquiry report reveals about the NHS @cbffjuk.bsky.social

The Covid Inquiry has published its report into the impact of the pandemic on healthcare systems. Its conclusions are shocking and must lead to change before it is once again too late. 🧵 1/10

At 12pm tomorrow, the Covid Inquiry publishes its report on the pandemic's impact on our health system. Those who left the NHS chronically underfunded and unprepared must be held to account, and the findings must drive urgent action to make the NHS fit for the 21st century.

Matt Hancock claimed the NHS not overwhelmed during pandemic. We as a country were prepared. @drkevinfong exposed that myth. We were so ‘prepared’ that staff even ran out of body bags. #covidinquiry must make recommendations to ensure NHS never left so exposed again. @cbffjuk.bsky.social

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.

At 12pm next Thursday, the @covidinquiryuk will publish its Module 3 report on the impact of the pandemic on Healthcare systems. Here is what the Inquiry’s report must do next week. 🧵 1/10

1/9 David and Goliath. Battle of the underdog. Speaking truth to power. Power of the people. All spring to mind. Last week saw two momentous events. Firstly, the conclusion of the hearings of the Covid Inquiry, the largest Public Inquiry in British history.

Today is the Day of Reflection. A day to remember the lives lost since the pandemic began. In their name, we will keep fighting for justice.

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..... @chrischirp.bsky.social @russellscott.bsky.social
