"Too little, too late"
"23,000 lives could have been saved."
I lost a good friend to Covid during the early days of the Pandemic. His wife was not allowed to say goodbye.
Others have told me of their own devastating losses. We will never know if those loved ones would still be here, but Baroness Hallett's report confirms that the chaos, indecision and inaction at the very top of government let us all down.

Covid inquiry: UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry - BBC News
Last week I met with James Murray, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, to discuss the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS) ahead of the Budget.
I have been relentlessly pushing this issue with ministers at every level to ensure BCSSS members get the justice they deserve next week.
On 5 April 1979, Blues and Royals serviceman Anthony Dykes was killed when an IRA sniper opened fire on an armoured vehicle entering Andersonstown RUC station.
His mother, Kathleen now 94, has never stopped fighting for her son’s memory. She told me he is a ‘forgotten soldier’. While there are national memorials for those lost in Afghanistan and Iraq, there is none for those who served in Northern Ireland.
Today, on Kathleen’s behalf, I am asking the Government to commit to a national memorial.
