It was great to see @SalBrinton on TV this morning to discuss her infected blood amendment.
This scandal has been going on for years leaving victims struggling with their health as a result.
We are calling for victims and families to be compensated after years of mistreatment.

Steve Coogan's piece last night for @LibDems conference saying he would normally vote Labour but will be campaigning with the @LibDems candidate in Lewes to help topple Tory @mariacaulfield
I sincerely hope they succeed.
Tactical voting at the next GE 👍🏼
The anniversary of the late Queen’s death makes me realise that her place almost a given because of who she was and always having had her on the thrown. Somehow it highlights how different things feel with the King where the lack of legitimacy is overwhelming. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

We have just reached a political agreement on the UK's participation in Horizon Europe and Copernicus.
It will allow the EU and UK to deepen their relationship in research, innovation and space, bringing together research and space communities. More ↓

Humphrey the cat, a civil servant and therefore apolitical, asked to speak up on the infected blood scandal
My young son and I are trying to decide and wondered if you could help. What does the Road Runner say?

“Things DO get better” 💬
Last Friday, we asked what you would tell yourself five years ago. Here are some of your responses ⬇️
ALT "things DO get better"
ALT "Change is good! It helps us to grow and improve"
ALT "You are so strong. Keep fighting to be happy and healthy and stay kind."

Rishi Sunak is asked at the Infected Blood Inquiry to commit to providing compensation for victims of the scandal, but doesn't.
The reason? He doesn't want to get anyone's hopes up.

Shifty Sunak appears evasive... again trib.al/rHXv6Uq
If you want to #GTTO then a key lesson from recent by-elections is; where the @LibDems are in 2nd place and have enough resources even large Conservative majorities can be overturned. Lib Dem’s are 2nd in about 90 seats. That makes more resources vital libdems.my.salesforce-sites.… – at Edinburgh, Scotland
It’s not just about money. More volunteers mean more boots on the ground which will lead to higher Conservative losses.

Spare a thought for those who voted Green at #UxbridgeAndSouthRuislip only to see the narrow Con win lead to all this talk of Lab & Cons moving away from environmental policies. It underlines why we need #PR so people can vote for policies without fear unintended consequences. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Interesting that in today’s daily poll from YouGov over half of Conservatives think the country is going in the wrong direction. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
It took almost 10 hours for the A74(M) to reopen. It would be interesting to know how that time is used; what’s involved in the investigation? Also, @trafficscotland needs to examine its estimates for the length of the delays. We took 3hrs to complete the 4 miles to the division. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
NEW ❗ ⌚ 14:35
