Our latest @LInvestigates report revealing hidden university and police collaboration over student Gaza protests on the front page of today's @MetroUK. Pick up a copy!
If you read one thing today make sure it is this shocking (but not surprising) investigation into the ways British universities collaborated with the police to repress pro-Palestine activists. Amazing work by @AaronWala@HarrietClugston and @itsjoshmilton. https://t.co/BwqeGkKc4b

Major new investigation 🧵:

- Media loves them. They're in British newspapers >15 times per day

On this day in 2017, @emmayoule reported on @JasonEvansF8 legal case taken by @Collins_Law and evidence which wouldn't have existed were it not for the late great Frank Field. Frank campaigned over decades on the Infected Blood Scandal.
The amazing @cazjwheeler helped us to highlight the document mentioned in this article during her time at @Daily_Express (Check her on @BBCNewsnight last night on #ContaminatedBlood too!) - https://t.co/cIuabT1rDk
The @DHSCgovuk had told @DianaJohnsonMP they didn't have the document but we found it in @UkNatArchives.
Months later, this legal case went on to become a group litigation and @Collins_Law now have over 1,500 clients impacted by the infected blood scandal. What happens with that group litigation very much depends on how @cabinetofficeuk respond to @bloodinquiry compensation recommendations.
Infected Blood Inquiry publishes its final report on Monday 20th May.
Five years ago I watched a young woman die on the street after a gunman fired a gun indiscriminately at us during a riot. Poor Lyra McKee was hit by one of the bullets I heard whizz past my head as I ran for cover. That sound haunts me still. As does the screaming and the 1/
