Well done us @cbffjuk.bsky.social who brought this complaint.

Our campaign for accountability continues.....

It’s been quite a week. To cap off the end of oral testimony at the UK Covid Inquiry, this news has just come through. Our complaint has been upheld. So proud of us @cbffjuk.bsky.social
Our complaint against Lord Chadlington has been upheld.
He has been suspended for 1 year. We welcome his decision to step down.
However long it takes, we will continue pursuing accountability for figures who abused their positions during the pandemic.

The hundreds of thousands lost to Covid must not have died for nothing.
That must be this Inquiry’s legacy.

Almost six years after my father’s avoidable death, I will be giving evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry this afternoon. Retelling what happened to my dad is hard, but not learning from the mistakes that were made is far worse.

After the hearing ends at 4.30pm, we will gather outside for a short statement and a moment of silence.
Our fight for justice continues.
