It's the 2nd of 3 days of Andy Coles being questioned at the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Yesterday was staggering, with him changing his story over & over. Today's hearing is livestreamed on the Inquiry's YouTube channel youtube.com/watch?v=y2hyPo… #spycops

Here's Tom Fowler, live from the Undercover Policing Inquiry in the morning break of the second of three days hearing from #spycops officer Andy Coles who's been changing his story yet again, denies abusing women & says it's all a big conspiracy against him

Before the abuser of women & #spycops officer Andy Coles was called to give evidence to the public inquiry, last week they had a day with Jessica, who he groomed into a sexual relationship. Here's our summary report of what she said: campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2024/12/19/ucp…

Andy Coles admits writing the #spycops manual's section on how to conduct sexual liaisons & that he told a new officer sexual relationships were inevitable. But then says he had none & didn't know about any others (except 1 by turncoat officer Mike Chitty). He's lying. Again.

The lunchtime report from the Undercover Policing Inquiry today as spycop Andy Coles gets skewered time and again by questioning that shows him up as a smug liar who can't get his story straight youtube.com/watch?v=SL4TnZ… #spycops

It's amazing how much Andy Coles's demeanour has changed being questoned by Sir John Mitting. Gone from functionally smug to nervous apologetic schoolchild waiting outside the principal's office #spycops

Tom Fowler Metropolitan Police Jessica @DuwayneBrooks UCPI ARspycatcher We were asked to delete some tweets today. Here is the amended version of one of them: It is clear that there is the potential for a miscarriage of justice whenever the defence are not informed of the involvement of an undercover police officer in a case. Please RT. #spycops

The hearings of the Undercover Policing #spycops Inquiry have come to the end for 2025. There will be plenty more to come next year. I'm hugely behind with the weekly recaps. If you find my reporting useful, please consider supporting my work. ko-fi.com/tombfowler

The #spycops public inquiry heard from 'Walter', a hunt saboteur in the 1980s and 1990s who was spied on & lied about by 6 officers for no real reason - including Andy Coles campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2025/02/04/ucp…

5 women deceived into relationships by #spycops told their stories in 1 book, Deep Deception. Put together, it shows the abuses were training& tactics. The paperback's out on 13 March renamed The Undercover Police Scandal: Love & Lies Exposed to match the upcoming ITV documentary

#Spycops officer HN1 'Matt Rayner' returns for more questioning at the public inquiry tomorrow. A contemporary of Andy Coles (he remembers people finding Coles 'creepy'), they shared many similarities. Here's what we learnt from his earlier testimony campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2025/02/11/wha…

Serial abuser of women Andy Coles is standing in a Peterborough Council by election. After his flustered lying testimony at the #spycops inquiry we hoped he had the self-awareness to slope off with a little dignity. Somehow we overestimated him. peterborough.gov.uk/council/electi…

Great to see Jessica out on the streets of Barnack telling voters the truth about Conservative candidate Andy Coles. Men who've abused positions of public trust to violate women should not be given second chances. Coles is rattled & has responded with more twaddle #spycops

A year ago ex #spycops officer Andy Coles lost Peterborough council seat. Yesterday he stood in a Conservative-held ward but came 3rd. The increasing evidence of his abuse of women, his lying to the public & Jessica's tireless campaigning have made him an electoral liability
