Mum died all alone... it's a joy to hear Keir back our care home battle...

ACTRESS Ruthie Henshall was "bowled over" to hear Labour chief Keir Starmer is backing the campaign to stop care home residents ever dying alone again.

But the West End star, who had to watch her mum die slowly through a window during lockdown, now wants him to add it to his manifesto.

Campaigners fear that unless it is made law, relatives could be blocked from seeing loved ones for any reason. In one recent case, a daughter was banned while a care home had a carpet fitted.

Ruthie, an ambassador for Rights For Residents, has been fighting to stop such scandals ever happening again in care homes and hospitals.
