The £145 million Covid Inquiry is under fire from the Us For Them group, claiming it’s not digging into the impact of lockdowns on children and hinting at a legal showdown. The Mail has more.
A parents’ campaign group, Us For Them, says the official investigation is not properly considering the impact that isolation had on children, who were the group least likely to die from the virus but suffered most from lockdowns and school closures.
In a damning legal letter, Us For Them suggests the inquiry has already decided that ordering people to stay at home was “necessary, proportionate and justified” and so is “almost exclusively” focusing on whether lockdowns should have been imposed harder and sooner.
The correspondence to former Court of Appeal judge Baroness Hallett, who chairs the inquiry, also raises questions about the “fairness” of proceedings more generally.
The Mail on Sunday understands the group, which has more than 13,000 followers on Facebook, could issue a legal challenge, via a judicial review, early next year if the inquiry does not change its course.
