@DianaJohnsonMP@cjmcgoogan Amazing! I was in the public gallery for the apology yesterday and it was perfect that you were given the last question. Thank you for everything you have done for infected community!
@seancavens@JohnGlenUK@samuelevolpe@ashishskynews@IanLaveryMP@ChrisStephens An interesting take on it. I’ve always thought that they need the report and its shocking findings to justify spending a huge sum on compensation. Hence not doing anything until after 20th May. I’m happy to be a pawn in their election campaign, if the cheque is large enough!
@FredgoldMartin@ShawTb584@jessicamordenmp Yes Martin. I share your view. Given that the tories know they are the outgoing party, I don’t see what they have to lose by dealing with it now, but I’m probably being naive….
📢Last Friday, I presented a petition to Parliament on behalf of Ogmore constituents calling for redress and justice for those affected in the #InfectedBloodScandal
❌It's a disgrace that the Government still hasn't helped those affected!
@DianaJohnsonMP
Infected blood compensation and victims' data rights in the spotlight from 3.15pm as members continue further check and change of the #VictimsBill at report stage.

So, the government tells us they are ‘working at pace’ and @JohnGlenUK tells us that #ContaminatedBlood compensation is his highest priority. Yet, they continue to oppose amendments which seek to speed up the process. Say one thing and do another….!
@RosBanks6@Factor8Campaign@SalBrinton@ukgov Because the government have been dragging their feet on this for decades and this bill will force the issue (assuming the govt. doesn’t get their way with amending it). As you say though, they should just cough up!
House of Lords will Vote on Infected Blood Compensation (Victims & Prisoners Bill) on Tues 30th April approx 8pm. We ask Peers to please be in the Chamber and support justice for Infected Blood Victims - @SalBrinton Amendment 119HA will be put to vote.
Tag a member of @UKHouseofLords and ask for their support 🙏 We also need support for amendments: 119CA, 119D, 119E, 119J, 119K, 119M, 119MA★, 119P, 119PA★, 119T, 119U, 119V, 119X, 119Y, 121B, 121C, 121D.
@DrGrumpy@Factor8Campaign@SalBrinton Sounds incredible, when you say it like that, doesn’t it? But, here we are, 40 years’ later and the full scale of these questionable decisions is still coming to light.
