Half the story! Obfuscation, smoke & mirrors! Only deceased registered SCM when alive are eligible, not all. Reason, “they are not alive to speak for themselves, cannot be medically assessed.” CANDOUR and TRANSPARENCY are just words to these people! 😡 @AndyBurnhamGM @SalBrinton

Armenia has chosen EUROPE! The exitpoll indicates that the Pro-European party has gotten 56% of votes. Russia has tried to sway the vote by a variety of tactics, but Armenians have put their back towards them. The Pro-Russian party has only 17% of votes. Europe ❤️ Armenia

During pregnancy women were not warned about the harmful risks of sodium valproate. When will the Government act and provide the redress these families deserve? @SarahGreenLD

When it comes to the handling of compensation, I believe there is a “scandal within a scandal”. No true recognition of HCV haemophiliacs having their lost education recognised @NickTorfaen you are paying £20k for all who were infected as children. Yet hiv already have their lost
