No.
Officers are acting in accordance with the training you’ve given them, Commissioner.
They’ve been told “GC people have warped twisted views and are motivated by hate". This was at New Scotland Yard, was applauded by your officers, and defended in court.
(Newman v Met)
It’s on a whole new level to @Glinner’s comment, yet the Met didn’t seem to find anything wrong with it at all. No armed officers turned up to carry out an arrest.
Newman v Met is the tip of the Metropolitan Police iceberg.
There is a rot in policing, whose leaders are unwilling to accept responsibility or commit to wholescale change.
They are infiltrated by activists, act for activists, and are afraid to say no to activists.
5/9
The Met police found the time to write a letter, apologising for not discovering who ‘leaked’ the TDOV comments.
The fact they are now facing a storm of exposure for unwisely jumping to the demands of activists is their fault alone. They took a side and lost impartiality.
The Commissioner’s statement 👇claims officers had no alternative to arresting Graham Linehan. That’s just not true though.
Women have faced horrendous threats, abuse and harassment from activists and are mainly brushed off with no action taken.
A side was taken.
7/9
It should be a surprise to no one, least of all Sir Mark Rowley, that his officers leap to the demands of extremists. After all, they are welcoming, paying and applauding extremists themselves.
@WomensRightsNet wrote 👇 to the Met to warn them of this danger.

DC Melanie Newman also courageously challenged the Met at a Tribunal. Because without brave people, nothing changes.
She lost, but is appealing. Details of how to support her are here 👇
The police are lying to the public about crime. They are corrupting their own data.
Despite the alleged perpetrator and the victim being men, Avon and Somerset Police @ASPolice will record the below reported incident as a female crime, committed by a woman against a woman. 1/
Rape in the UK is an offence committed under S.1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. It is committed via penetration with the p*nis.
A woman can ONLY be charged of an offence under S.1 is she actively assists the man's offence. This is unusual however. All officers know this.

In their FOI response to @WomensRightsNet, @ASPolice confirm they record crimes on the basis of 'gender' not sex.
And rely on self ID.
They aren't alone among police forces either.
This matters. It means we cannot rely on what the police tell us about crime.
CC Jardine is the officer who promoted and introduced the self ID based strip search debacle, claiming it was based on ‘robust’ and ‘defensible’ legal grounds.
Withdrawn following our @WomensRightsNet report and direct criticism from the @EHRC.
Final day of the Newman v Metropolitan police tribunal.
The Met paid nearly £26k to Saba Ali, a former PA, for advisory work Oct 2022 - Feb 2025. They state they 'value' her contribution.
One of her recent, hastily deleted 'views. Do they value these opinions too? 1/6
Ali also referred to feminists advocating for single sex spaces as “banshees”, “bigots” and “morons” on social media.
Despite her obvious bias, the Met sought Ali’s advice during a gross misconduct investigation into a detective constable for alleged 'transphobia' in 2023.
2/6
The officer faced losing his job for having:
🟣 a suffragette sticker on his laptop
🟣 allegedly using male pronouns to refer to a trans woman bomber during a presentation
🟣 raising concerns about two external speakers the Met invited for LGBT+ history month.

Day 6 Newman v Metropolitan Police
The evidence of witness Superintendent Behag Fisher of the Met this morning has been astonishing.
This Supt reviewed the use of Jane Fae at an internal talk, after multiple complaints from staff about the appropriateness of this speaker.
1/4
The superintendent reviewed the use of Jane Fae at an internal talk to staff.
Despite strong complaints from staff about the appropriateness of this speaker, she still used Fae for the talk (after consulting with an Independent Advisory Group, including activist Saba Ali).
2/4
The officers’ concerns were about Fae:
➡️Minimising DV murder
➡️Defending an author who fantasised about murdering members of Girls Aloud
➡️Talking of treating @jk_rowling with formaldehyde
➡️Defending extreme pornography and how to hide it from the police
3/4
So, Newman v Metropolitan Police.
Main takes from day 4 (in no particular order).
Case involves influence of trans activists on the Metropolitan police service (MPS) our largest and arguably most iconic police force.
🧵1/
Giving evidence today, intelligence analyst Kit Moore, trans lead for the MPS LGBT+ network. Also organised the Trans Day of Visibility for March 2023.
This was subject of a @WomensRightsNet complaint to the MPS commissioner at the time.

What did we learn?
Firstly, the MPS Trans & Non Binary staff forum is a lobbying group of trans activists, who meet regularly with the Mets inclusion dept.
These activists included Eva Echo & Saba Ali. Other docs show Shea Coffey and Adi Daly Gourdialsing were in the group.
