#spycops
@tombfowler Diane makes it clear in her statement that she has never taken part in or been arrested for criminal activity. She has been politically active for many years.

#spycops
@tombfowler However at least 6 undercover officers infiltrated her private life, collecting personal information about her, storing it and sharing it with others
@tombfowler According to Diane, this reporting "was often accompanied
by inappropriate personal commentary" on her views and family arrangements"

The afternoon session of the #spycopsinquiry is now underway - you can watch it on

#spycops
First we saw a report about the Easter 1980 rally in Skegness
ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

It includes a very long list, running to 50 pages, of names of people who had attended the event. Some of them are listed as entertainers
German confirmed that one didn't need to be a member of the SWP in order to attend the event.

Barr pointed out that it says “No trace” after many of the names – suggesting that the person had not come to Special Branch's attention before.

Dave took a photograph of 'Tony Williams' and supplied a copy to the Inquiry
Regarding the Torness Alliance, this was a UK wide campaign to oppose the building of a new nuclear power station in Scotland.
The main objections were firstly the threat of catastrophic nuclear accidents (as had almost happened in 1979 at Three Mile Island in the US &in 1986 actually happened at Chernobyl in Ukraine resulting subsequently in an est 9-16,000 deaths from air pollution throughout Europe).

Day 3 of this round of the #SpyCopsInquiry starts in 5 mins - watch at


We'll be live-tweeting - along with @tombfowler - throughout the morning (yes, it's due to finish for the day at lunchtime)

#spycops
@tombfowler First is Rajiv Menon QC, representing Tariq Ali, Ernie Tate and Piers Corbyn.
You can now download their written Opening Statement from ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
#spycops
@tombfowler As Menon says, Ali gave evidence in Nov 2020 and Corbyn in April 2021.

Sadly, Ernie Tate's ill-health meant he was unable to give evidence in person to the @ucpinquiry, and he passed away in February of last year, (without ever receiving any meaningful disclosure)

Shocking revelation from the #SpyCopsInquiry yesterday: The CPS decided there was a good chance of securing a conviction for the officer who stole the identity of the dead infant Rod Richardson, but bringing a prosecution is "not in the public interest"
theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/m…
The CPS took its decision last year, 2 weeks after Rod Richardson's mother, Barbara Shaw, had died. It says it is because the officer followed his training. In which case they should prosecute the trainer (Andy Coles, now a Tory councillor in Peterborough sackandycoles.wordpress.com/what-did-andy-…)
The #SpyCops officer was exposed in 2013 by activists suspicious of their former comrade. The Met flatly denied the now-established fact that stealing identities of dead children was standard practice & part of their training.

Mitting is responding to some of the points made - says it would be 'gargantuan' and a waste of public money (?!) to find all of the relevant 'Registry Files' and other documents held by the State.
Kilroy repeats that the #spycops operations were obviously unlawful - Mitting says her submissions are "forceful and well-founded" but he's unwilling to respond immediately on the question of lawfulness...

#SpyCopsInquiry
Another break, before the #SpyCopsInquiry returns, to hear from Owen Greenhall, representing Lord Peter Hain, Professor Jonathan Rosenhead and Ernest Rodker.
