Is one of the most powerful things that came out of this news conference, saying that behind every one of those thousands of people, Tens Of Thousands, they said who were affected, is a family. And thats a reminder, they said that saying sorry would go some way, but what would you be saying sorry for . But they would welcome an apology and it is expected when we hear from the Prime Minister later this afternoon there may be an apology on behalf of the government. And i want tojust behalf of the government. And i want to just say that in the last ten minutes or so, we saw some of the relatives behind me. You can still see them there in the distance and theyre holding a banner, its got theyre holding a banner, its got the faces of their beloved on it and the faces of their beloved on it and the caption simply says murdered. Thats the view that people feel here. It felt that many of the report felt that many of the deaths were largely avoidable, and the takeaway is the frustration and ang

you know, if you trusted us when we looked after your sick during the covid pandemic, trust us now when we say the nhs is in an existential crisis and our ability to deliver our core services safely is compromised by not paying the front line nhs staff a decent wage. health secretary, steve barclay says the royal college of nursing demands are unaffordable during these challenging times . he says he s open to engaging with the unions on how to make the nhs a better place to work. a bedridden 98 year old woman who was sent a bill by thames water which said she d consumed the equivalent of a million cups of tea in six months, has received a goodwill gesture payment from the company. estelle mendoza has got £500 after being told her monthly £33 bill would go up by over 500%. herson, lawrence, has criticised the amount offered while thames water has apologised for the distress it caused the pensioner.
