openDemocracy has hired three journalists to begin work on the UK’s historic Covid-19 inquiry thanks to the success of our ongoing crowdfunding campaign.

Laura Oliver, James Harrison and Fin Johnston will kick off our coverage on Tuesday when the inquiry begins hearing evidence. They will work alongside openDemocracy’s politics chief Ruby Lott-Lavigna.

Readers donated thousands of pounds to help us report on the inquiry in detail by hiring dedicated journalists to attend as many hearings as possible.
