TaintedBlood's response to the Government's moves tonight on infected blood compensation.
Attempting to explain government-think on HIV vs HCV tariffs, I get this from another campaigner:
"Spoken like a true soon to be multimillionaire. I'm alright Jack and pull the ladder up."
I had AIDS before medication was available. 4/5 of us are dead.
I'm not alright, Jack.
Thank you so much, Caroline! I'm very humbled by this. There are many, many others who deserve just as much recognition for their work uncovering this scandal, but I'm so pleased that we've reached a point where something like this is even possible for our community.
There are many heroes from the contaminated blood campaign, but I am so pleased to see my friend Andy Evans @CoderMonkey given a gong in the ST alternative honours. I hope a real one turns up for him and other fearless campaigners soon. @Keir_Starmer

Tainted Blood press release today, following the Cabinet Office announcement that compensation payments have started. Great spin, but the devil is in the details, as always. @CampaignTB @Haemosexual

Andrew Evans, TB Chairman: βWhilst news the first ten infected blood victims have finally been paid compensation, Sir Brian Langstaff, in the Inquiry's Second Report told the goverment to have paid victims by end 2023. 100 have died waiting. This is nothing to celebrate.
Huge thanks to @PeteWishartMP, @IanLaveryMP & others for their powerful contributions in today's Infected Blood debate. Despite their best efforts to achieve essential clarity & raise urgent concerns about the compensation scheme, the opportunity to respond positively was missed.
Join me over at Bluesky for a (hopefully) more constructive, less algorithm-driven environment!
