The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is fundamental to our democracy & enables ordinary people, of all backgrounds, to hold the state & public bodies accountable.
Thank you to all that signed the expression of support for the 75th anniversary :

The contaminated blood scandal enquiry is a year old today - many of the victims & families have yet to receive the compensation promised to them by the enquiry. Thank you to Contaminated Blood Campaign Group for speaking with me today - I echo your call for justice #CBC #HVC #Parliament

Welcome to all the new members 👋

We couldn't have reached this point without dedicated single parent campaigners. Laura, who joined us in London to submit the CMS open letter, shared this: "Making our voices heard by handing the letter in to the DWP was an important part of our campaign for CMS reform, they have to see us as people behind the statistics."
