A group of politicians and scientists has signed an open letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calling for the COVID Inquiry to change tack because they fear it has a pre-determined outcome in favour of lockdowns.

The letter was written in support of children’s rights campaign group Us For Them, which has threatened the inquiry with legal action if it does not widen its terms of reference to fully take into account lockdown harms.
