If you're a cop who has invaded someone's life, your privacy is paramount. If you're a victim of said cop and your human rights have been abused, intimate details of your life will be published all over the Internet by the #spycops inquiry.

Definitely murder. And an unsolved one at that. Even though we know who did it.

Metropolitan police #spycops spied on Suresh Grover and the Monitoring Group. Suresh is a core participant in the UCPI.

Do watch this, a lesson for the #spycops UCPI that confronted with racist violence and the extreme right resistance is an answer. #Defiance is making the case in a very impressive way, with relatable, emotional and raw testimonies weaved through great archive material.

The Met protected fascists and murdered teacher and activist Blair Peach. Then their #spycops targeted his friends and his partner, the amazing Celia Stubbs.

The funeral of Blair Peach, featured in this episode, we now know was attended by #spycops . The campaign for justice also spied on. Painful and disturbing, #Defiance is essential viewing.

The #spycops inquiry has started publishing documents for Friday's preliminary hearing. So far it's submissions from the Met Police & BBC, as well as a note from the counsel to the inquiry. They give an idea of some likely topics that'll be covered tomorrow, let's take a look 🧵

Do follow Tom Fowler if you're interested in the #spycops scandal. He's so good at tweeting, that no doubt he will make something special out of this important though mostly procedural hearing!

This friday, I'll be back giving my usual running commentary on the #spycops inquiry. I'll try to break down what is going on into layman's terms and makes jokes whenever possible - feel free to join in.

Thinking about the incredulity of this again earlier.

Without the plethora of things Starmer got wrong; whipping MPs to abstain on Spycops, letting down teachers during the pandemic, young climate activists, Gaza...

What he did to Jeremy Corbyn alone SHOWS you the man he is 🤷‍♀️

A public inquiry that is biased toward the abuser/ perpetrator instantly fails in its duty. Being a victim is hard enough without knowing you are being pre-emptively judged. #spycops
