Good Afternoon,
Well the weather in the UK is currently reflecting on how i feel! Sad, bleak and dull although we must step up and continue the fight!
YOU should be so proud, we have together managed to campaign and reach over 385,000 signatures! Testing is continuing to be ramped up and now into all care homes regardless of age or condition which means both residents and staff are being tested.
Sadly it does not include care workers or people living in supported living schemes. In 2020 this is outrageous! These staff didnt choose not to be eligible when they accepted that role, those people living there didnt expect that direct discrimination and i urge you to continue fighting.
Please can you tweet you'll hear the gvnt telling you they have opened testing to all care homes...what you WONT hear is the reality that they have pushed and pushed for supported living over the years & they still are NOT eligible for tests! @MattHancock @Helen_Whately what about these services?
I have posted this onto my twitter if it is easier to share. You can find me https://twitter.com/_mark_topps/status/1269286996574384128
In other news our campaign made it to the BBC. Without your hard work and continued support this would never have happened so thank you. You can watch the video here: https://twitter.com/_mark_topps/status/1267877379030028290
Have a good weekend, continue the campaign and remember the sun will shine again soon!
