Serious reforms are indeed needed to the coronial system. We have long called for 1. A National Coroners Service. 2. An oversight mechanism to monitor & follow up recs. 3. Non-means tested funding for legal representation for families. Our letter to @thetimes from @DebatINQUEST pic.twitter.com/SX05a2C6TV

Letter in @thetimes today on coronial reform and how inquests can play vital preventative role. But this is undermined by lack of oversight of coroners recommendations and inequality of arms of bereaved families. @INQUEST_ORG pic.twitter.com/RQqb53GHAe

Pepper spray is a weapon designed to cause harm. Shocking that it has been introduced into prisons with no parliamentary debate or scrutiny and as predicted it is being used in situations that don’t justify it. theguardian.com/society/2018/d…

‘One of the things I’m passionate about is trying as a society to reduce the circumstances in which people end up in prison.’ Good to hear this from @NicolaSturgeon in light of deaths of young people in HMYOI Polmont who should never have been there. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

We are glad to see the review adding to the widespread calls for non-means tested legal aid for bereaved families. Access to justice is essential to enable accountability and learning from deaths. #MHAReview @lawsocgazette lawgazette.co.uk/law/government…

“Not only has Europe failed to provide search and rescue capacity, it has also actively sabotaged others’ attempts to save lives. The end of Aquarius means more deaths at sea, and more needless deaths that will go unwitnessed.” msf.org/aquarius-force…

Fully support the public health approach to knife and gang crime. Armed police patrols will only further undermine trust and confidence of communities not least in context of stop and search, and police use of force being disproportionately used against black people. twitter.com/HackneyAbbott/…
