If you're interested in the Lucy Letby case, do watch last night's event at the @unherd club. I think we covered a lot of ground and debated some significant issues. https://t.co/PUTnqqk1GD

@offgridtrailers Trying to take out 1 Yr Gaia GPS subscription offer, but it seems to want me to pay $60 upfront?
Thanks!

@JamesMelville Yes, except if off-piste skiing. Notorious for blocking the signals from avalanche rescue beacons!! Yes- this is true

This is very important: Were the blood tests in Lucy Letby's conviction flawed? @UnHerd https://t.co/BNnnStJkBk

Good to see FND getting a mention by the UK prime minister

[KimH @KH118118]

PMQ' today, @Keir_Starmer announces the government will be investing £350,000 in research on interventions which support people with Functional Neurological Disorders, to rehabilitate them within the community. Amazing news! #FND #FNDAwareness

‘How safe is the Letby verdict?’This is devastating new research into the weakness of the Letby prosecution. Please read it. https://t.co/j2K1Pg6Il1

[David Rose @DavidRoseUK]

Revealed: the document never disclosed to Lucy Letby’s defence lawyers that casts fresh doubt on the safety of her convictions, and the life-threatening virus that ran rampant in the unit where she worked. Me and @LucyLetbyTrials for @unherd https://t.co/xOVqKcUrno

@deb_cohen @NIH Seems to be back up and working again.
Massive issue if it is lost

[Oversight @Oversig58651516]

Nobody could blame the parents (only one of which has ever commented publicly since the outcry began) for having all kinds of emotions. None of them good. They own those babies, and their dashed hopes and memories, whether survived or deceased. We don’t.

But we do all own British justice. And open justice. And we have a right and need to exercise it. And they must have no right to block it. (If indeed that is what they all want. I have my doubts).

It’s a cheap and shallow shot for @WesStreeting to say that he stands with the parents, as if those who want the truth are against them. @wesstreeting @cheshirepolice and the CPS are repeatedly using the parents as a human shield to defend against the scrutiny of matters that are their own responsibilty. It’s getting rather revolting.

I have a plan. @wesstreeting, crack on with making our hospitals safe. You have a lot to do. (You might want to look at the 14 experts’ report in this light. It’s your day job.)

@shabanamahmood you are Lord Chancellor.
Take a look at the letter of the group of 24 medics and scientists who warned you months ago that the Thirlwall Inquiry was in danger of being irrelevant because the Terms of Reference were too tight. You ignored that. How is that looking? How has that affected the parents? Love to hear what you are going to do. The Inquiry is now a zombie. Undead and dead at the same time. #lucyletby @ClarkeMicah @sarahknapton @guardian @legalmarkmc

[The Trials of Lucy Letby @LucyLetbyTrials]

"Lucy Letby and the kindness of expert strangers"

A powerful piece in the Church of England Newspaper. "Letby was monstered, reminiscent of medieval women being demonised as witches and executed."

@drphilhammond How does that response square with Dr Evans, as identified by @DavidRoseUK in his article following speaking to the police, having repeatedly changed his opinion regarding some of the cases?

[Dr Phil Hammond 💙 @drphilhammond]

I find the response of Dr Evans deeply troubling. If he had said "I stand by my analysis but I also accept that other expert analyses may reach different conclusions to mine, and it's up to the court decide which is most plausible" then fine. But to dismiss the analysis of experts with far more recent experience and academic credentials than him who have viewed the same evidence as "flawed and erroneous" suggests a degree of dogma and certainty in his omnipotence that clearly convinced the police and the jury but is far from scientific.

Those who know me will agree that I have always said there are issues. Not least the role of the "expert" witness.
