A Scottish MP was reduced to tears in the Commons after he described the pain of losing his mother to dementia during the pandemic.
During an emotional backbench debate on dementia research, SNP MP John Nicolson recalled how many people died not directly of covid but “died through loneliness” because they were separated from their loved ones.
Nicolson, the MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, said his mother died at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
