❗️Here it is. Please RT 🙏
The major piece of news I have been waiting to share
⬇️
@NHSNotts UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER.

@thetimes
‘Detectives (@northumbriapol ) have informed the trust’s bosses and told them to preserve all records related to the June 2023 attacks.
The trust said that it would co-operate with the inquiry.
The move is likely to send ‘shockwaves’ through the NHS as it shifts the case against the trust from treatment failures to the question of whether it was directly responsible for the killings’.

COMMENT:
As a trust we hold you to account for the loss of our son, for Grace and for Ian.
Yes - YOU.
To all of the negligent, inept and failed clinicians, practitioners and managers.
TOP DOWN.
You WILL be held to account.
You (alongside the Calocane family, the @nottspolice, @leicspolice and @CPSUK ).
You have blood on your hands. You know it, I know it, and now the country will know it.

Whatever it takes, you will be held to account.
I will post in full tomorrow….

It was a privilege to present an incredible £6,500 cheque to the amazing Ben's Den in front of a fantastic crowd at today's Ilkeston Music Festival!

This fantastic amount was raised through the 50-mile walk back in April to our final away game of the 2025/26 season.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated, or supported us along the way. Your generosity has made a real difference.

And thank you to everyone at Ben's Den for the incredible work you do in supporting our community – it was an honour to be able to give something back. 👏

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
