Many years ago I hosted in Parliament meetings Dave Smith organised to set up the Blacklisted Workers Support Group. Dave & his colleagues exposed the role of undercover police in the blacklisting scandal. It’s appalling that he is not being allowed to speak at Spycops inquiry.

On Monday the #spycops Inquiry returns for more hearings. I'll be attempting to provide in-depth coverage of every session in numerous ways. If this interests anyone you know, it'd be amazing if you were able to amplify by sharing updates as they appear ko-fi.com/post/Inquiry-r…

It’s been an intense week with the Demand the Impossible theatre production about #spycops in Newport, been good to see so many people get so much out of it nation.cymru/culture/theatr…

We went to see it last night and what a great job theater company Common Wealth have done in bringing the oppressiveness of #spycops and political policing in the UK to life and to a wider audience.

The #spycops public inquiry restarts today with opening statements from the Counsel for the Inquiry, Met Police, Home Office and undercover officers all being presented. My money is on an over run. Love & solidarity to all the victims of this national human right scandal. ❤️✊🏼✊🏾

HN143 Dennis Gunn was senior officer in charge of notorious #spycops unit the SDS from 1988-91. He has a lot to answer for and today we hope he will get the grilling he deserves

Dennis Gunn is very clear "We we asked to do this by the Home Secretary" #spycops

It would seem HN143 Dennis Gunn had used the 'you don't understand policing like I understand policing' defence before his incredulous appearance at the #spycops inquiry on Monday news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1…

Grouchy Gunn defends the Spycops, blames everyone else Tranche 3 (T3) of the Skycops Inquiry re-opened this week and will investigate the actions of the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) from 1993 to its disbandment in 2008 reports James Simpson: counterfire.org/article/grouch… #spycops

Set a reminder for my upcoming #spycops Space! x.com/i/spaces/1YpKk…

This is a very welcome departure from the #spycops inquiry chair’s previous insistence on not allowing late additions to the timetable.

I'll be doing talks around the UK in Nov/Dec, while #spycops Inquiry hearings are going on in London. Talking about my book, weidenfeldandnicolson.co.uk/titles/kate-wi… ; what we're learning from the Inquiry, and the ongoing COPS. Event links below. 🧵1/9

Did Mitting just thank 'Ellie' by saying that oral evidence brings to life in a way that the written word never can? Foreshadowing the approach to the Dave Hagan question or more contradictions in how the UCPI approaches police witnesses compared to the victims? #spycops

After the hearing finished for today, Guardian journalist rob evans joined me to reflect on the procedural hearing and how the #spycops inquiry in going
