A long-overdue step forward. @SBH_PAG
A public statutory tribunal of inquiry into the care of children with scoliosis and/or spina bifida is finally on the horizon.
Families have fought too long for truth and change - this must deliver both.
No child should ever be failed again. 💙 #ScoliosisCare #SpinaBifida #JusticeForHarvey #BackUs
Thank you to everyone for the support as we continue to push for better for all children.
Thanks @VirginMediaNews for asking Heather Humphrys about her proposed Compulsory Medical Work Capacity Assessments -Her Answers Absolute Nonsense -Heather Humphries Green Paper on‘Disability Reform’ a Cowardly & Shameful attack on the Rights & Human Dignity of #Disabled Citizens
I was raped and sexually abused by a senior member of St John Ambulance. For years, the system failed us. Now, @ivanabacik & other politicians in Ireland are demanding a public inquiry but we need action, not words. Listen to my interview on @LMFMRADIO

The world needs honest, unbiased eyewitness reporting to help people make up their minds about the major issues of our time. This has so far been impossible in Gaza. Journalists around the world should support calls for reporters to be allowed into Gaza now.
This is shaping up to be a beautiful, powerful production - be sure to book your tickets now for @PlayhouseDerry@SHHomePlace@CushendunBPT https://t.co/e3uLBFrBle
Dear Hatem,
Today, I had a dream that I was teaching in a classroom. The students were your classmates from 7th grade when I taught you all back in 2021. I asked a question and waited a few seconds. No one raised their hand. And then—I started to weep.
I wept because I realized you were no longer with us. I knew that if you were there, you would’ve raised your hand before I even finished the question, a smile on your face.
I asked your classmates if they knew what happened to you. They all said, “Yes.”
I’m writing this to you, Hatem, from Syracuse, in upstate New York—the same city where I lived when you used to call me in the fall of 2022, asking, “When are you coming back? Will you be my teacher again when you return?”
I remember walking down Euclid Avenue one day on my way to the library. I offered to turn my camera on to show you the university buildings as I walked. You loved the view—the trees, the open space. You saw students playing tennis on the court. I think you even saw a squirrel. You admired the cars and asked, “Do you ever hear drones?” You were in your home in Beit Hanoun, where the sound of drones never left the sky.
I told you we only hear passenger planes here, planes coming to or leaving Syracuse. You told me you’d never seen one. I said, “I hadn’t either—not until I left Gaza for the first time in 2019.”
I also told you something else:
“Hatem, you are one of my most talented students ever. If you keep going like this, I believe you’ll come to Syracuse, or to another university that would be lucky to have you.”
I don’t know why I’m telling you all this now. You didn’t appear in my dream today. But I’m writing this letter to invite you to come visit me in the next one. Come answer the question I asked. Come smile and raise your hand.
I’m waiting for you, Hatem.
In Syracuse.
Your teacher,
Mosab

Anna Corrigan was in Tuam to see the preparation work ahead of the exhumation of the #tuambabies Her 2 brothers John & William Dolan died there. @tuambabiesfami1@APSARA1956
This bill promised to learn the mistakes of previous inquiries. Survivors wasted their energy engaging with public consultations. Their answers have been largely ignored.
Government instead went with the option of cutting out survivors who died waiting for them to act. #abuse
Have received countless phone calls and messages today regarding the shameful Mother and Baby home inquiry and redress bill. Survivors are disgusted that the years of campaigning and lobbying and cooperating with @niexecutive has fallen on deaf ears. #motherandbabyhomes
Sean Brown Inquiry
Sec of State officially confirms in writing that he will refuse to abide by the clear direction of the Judiciary (5 High Court Judges) and formally refuses to convene a public inquiry.
