From today’s Palestine Action court case.
“The state always wishes to have further powers to prevent crime, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. The proscription was an excessive reaction, and they didn’t need to go there.” 🎯
They did it under pressure from Trump and Israel

A woman allegedly abused by an covert MI5 intelligence source has said she is ‘deeply disappointed’ that the Security Service will not face further legal action for providing false evidence to three courts

It is beyond me how one of the most senior judges in the country can draw this conclusion from the submission before him.
If he thinks that Supreme Court judges will be arrested for declaring the proscription unlawful, then we really are in authoritarian times.

Congratulations #spycops inquiry on releasing transcripts of lyin', spyin' UCO HN15 Mark Jenner telling porky pies a mere 308 days and 306 days after it happened!
Never did a whitewash feel so cynically manipulated!
🎉🥳🍾

ICYMI - new article in @JusticeGap about ongoing #spycops inquiry the future of which is very unclear. thejusticegap.com/the-uncert…

"Tyrrell had been attached to the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, which is where the convicted rapists Couzens and David Carrick both worked."
Another one. See also #spycops who moved on to DPP firearms command. This unit chased out a senior female manager.
A former Metropolitan police officer who served in the same unit as Sarah Everard’s killer Wayne Couzens has been found guilty of sexual offences, including rape, against a woman he met through his work as an officer. #anotherone #throwawaythekey theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

concerned that Govt Ministers who are due to make decisions about the future of the #spycops inquiry don't understand the reasons it's taken so long (i.e. delays caused by the police), a group of the 'non state core participants' have today written to them, asking for meetings...
Old skool letters going to ministers about #spycops consultation. Don’t let the Home Office cover-up this policing scandal.

Throughout the #spycops inquiry, former undercover police officers have applied for anonymity on the basis of mental health issues and some have professed to suicidal intent. My view is that sex offenders waive their right to anonymity the minute they go around raping people >
The two-day High Court trial involving a well-known public figure, referred to in court as “PPT”, has concluded. He is seeking an injunction to prevent The Guardian and ITN from publishing allegations of inappropriate and exploitative sexual activity involving girls and young women.
The media’s case involves more than 30 sources with first-hand accounts about him.
At the end of the trial on Wednesday, Mr Justice Nicklin said he hoped to deliver a decision next week.
“The court will have to reserve judgment in this case. I appreciate the urgency. I will do everything I can to deliver a judgment next week,” he said.
The judge added that the parties “need to be ready” early next week.

It's worth noting that these transcripts illustrate Helen Steel's exemplary grasp of detail and razor-sharp analysis.
In T3P3D26 she nails how MPSB officers inside and outside of SDS knew HN5 John Dines & she were in a relationship, and that HN10 Bob Lambert set it up.

But these (and 9 more exhibits) were previously accessible through the Index to Bundle released in August. It's almost as if the chaotically byzantine publishing schedule of the #spycops inquiry is intentional.

I see that the #spycops inquiry has drip-released some more documents onto its website today - Duwayne Brooks' First Statement, and 17 associated exhibits (out of at least 43).

Your periodic public service announcement that some documents have been published on the #spycops inquiry website (because, like, it's too much, y'know, HASSLE for @ucpinquiry to do it):
TS for HN60 ‘Dave Evans’; witness statements/exhibits from @davenellist & @StaffordScott_.

New on the #spycops-adjacent reading pile... 'Neither Confirm Nor Deny - British Intelligence, Lawless Agent Running And The Suppression Of Truth' certainly has a familiar ring to it

"After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK."

#Spycops scandal:
Undercover police officer lied to #SpycopsInquiry about sexual relationship.
Officer forced to admit to long term relationship with woman while he spying on the SWP and animal rights campaigners under fake name Dave Evans.

Helen Steel managed to ask the question that had eluded every counsel to the inquiry over the years: if the met's apology was truly apologetic, why did it put its heart into withholding every drop of information it could? Well beyond the point of dignity?
#spycops
NB: We still don't know the real name of 'Dave Evans'.
Why does the inquiry insist on protecting the identities of proven liars like him & 'Matt Rayner' - after previously promising not to do this for any #spycops who'd deceived women for sex?

I said in my evidence to the #spycops inquiry that 'come the revolution', I'll make the tea. Turns out I'll be bag monitor.
But despite letting its press office know to expect this delivery, the Home Office staff were reluctant to receive it. Almost as if they don't want to hear what #Spycops survivors want for the future of this public inquiry. #Democracy #Police #Undercover
