I've been listening in to the evidence of HN1. Absolutely horrific set of excuses. He should really be answering these questions in a court. And in his real name!

Horrifying to see that it will be impossible for most of those targeted by the #spycops (and the lawyers representing us) from being able to hear the evidence of 'HN109' at the end of this month.

Super-helpful, all-in-one-place article about the identities of the 25 #spycops we know deceived women into intimate, sexual relationships. We expect there are more but as most have got anonymity in the public inquiry it's hard to find out who & how many. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

Today is technically the first hearing of Tranche 3 at the #spycops, but don't worry, we're not about to start months of proceedings with lots of lying cops. Today is just a directional hearing to see if the chair has nay respect for people affected by the infiltrations or not.

The final episode of The Undercover Police Scandal: Love & Lies Exposed aired on ITV last night. Raphael Schlembach's book #Spycops offers the first academic analysis of activists' experiences and their fight for answers in the #UndercoverPolicingInquiry. policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/spycops

Kate Wilson Kate Wilson was deceived into a relationship by #spycops officer Mark Kennedy. She had a 10 year legal battle to get answers, eventually forcing the police to give her their secret reports. Courts ruled that not just the sexual abuse but the spying was unlawful.🧵

📢📢Big news just dropped. Sir John Mitting is retiring as Chair of the #spycops inquiry. He'll still be leading the next hearings in October but will step down once a successor has been appointed. And there will be another interim report at some stage. ucpi.org.uk/2025/06/04/inq…

As the 10 year #spycops inquiry drags on ever longer, there's a vital conference in London this month on how the public inquiry system works for & against us, organised by N1M. Campaigners lawyers & policy experts are coming & you can be there too eventbrite.co.uk/e/public-inqui…

"A very British stasi" Private Eye sums up #spycops as we approach the next tranche.

My lawyers have lodged legal papers against the Chair of the #spycops public inquiry, Sir John Mitting. We’re applying for a JR to overturn his “irrational” decision not to allow me to give oral evidence about police collusion in #blacklisting, which is against natural justice.

The Opening Statement on behalf of the Blacklist Support Group and six union activists has finally been submitted to the #spycops public inquiry. Thank you to the many #blacklisted union members who provided useful information used in the statement. 🧵1/3

There are just 3 #spycops appearing in open hearings. By contrast 9 will be heard in closed (secret) hearings. One of those not even turning up is HN81 Dave Hagen who targeted Stephen Lawrences family - described as ‘profoundly disturbing’ by Home Secretary Theresa May in 2014

Johnny Mitting is back in the room! #spycops

I'll be doing a bit of a tour around the UK talking about my book and what we are learning from the ongoing #spycops inquiry . Here's the poster for the 12 December event in Brighton, at the Cowley Club.

The only reason why I'm still on Twitter are Tom Fowler 's #spycops tweets!

"We are no longer being watched, we are watching" Sukhdev Reel told the #spycops Inquiry today during incredibly powerful testimony from the Reel family.I highly recommend listening to the recordings, although it is incredibly painful to hear in places. ucpi.org.uk/hearing/ucpi-e…
