Worth remembering as this unfolds that it was disabled people and people from ethnic minority backgrounds who disproportionately died. Tens of thousands needlessly lost their lives, many who died alone or with just an iPad. Thousands more were left with life changing Long Covid. A true scandal.

The couple have been in a relationship for *two decades* but had to suffer this indignity. Glad the application was dismissed, but concerning to see the Court proposing a test that many of us would not be able to pass.
