Four years after we created the Covid Memorial Wall in a guerrilla action born out of grief and determination, the Government has now announced it will be made permanent.
This is a powerful step towards ensuring our loved ones are never forgotten.

We’ve formally written to the Honours Committee calling for Baroness Mone to be stripped of her OBE.
No one who profited from unusable PPE while people died without protection should hold an honour.
It's in the Government's power to make this happen. They must act now.

Boris Johnson accuses unions of "chuntering" about the safety of opening schools during the pandemic.
But the Government’s failure to close schools turned classrooms into hotbeds of infection.
The results were deadly for children and their families.

Should we be worried about the current COVID-19 variants?
As we enter autumn, rates of respiratory illnesses start to rise and people ask how the most common current lineages - or groups of genetically similar viruses - compare to previous COVID-19 variants.

Today, the Inquiry heard how it took the Government until September 2020 to agree on additional financial support for people self-isolating.
For 7 months, the Gov had forced many to choose between eating and isolating.
By Sep 2020, only 20% of people were following guidance.
A deadly delay.
