For more than a decade Claire has worked alongside @womensaid to protect other children, to make sure they are not silenced in the family courts. To make sure they are heard, and that Jack and Paul are never forgotten. A remarkable, brave, courageous woman who has saved lives.

Absolutely shocking @ITVTonight programme from @SarahCorkerNews this evening, who has led the way in exposing this scandal through meticulous reporting. The way pregnant women and new mothers were treated continues to shame the state, which still hasn’t apologised.

Recently @SarahCorkerNews interviewed @gordonbrown who called on the UK Government to apologise. He joins a growing chorus of voices which recognise this injustice, and can see that any delay to justice is simply denying it.
