Infected Blood scandal
My constituents simply cannot understand why it is taking so long to pay compensation to the victims of the infected blood scandal. I asked the minister if he could give any sense of when compensation might be paid. pic.twitter.com/hkEY13Azhs — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) April 26, 2024

Leasehold Reform – meeting with Minister
Howard and Phyll from Newcastle joined me to meet the Housing Minister about leasehold reform. Kafkaesque leasehold laws allow the Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust to make their lives a misery, holding their futures hostage. We need Government to listen and, crucially, to act.
