Anyone can now ask if they are on the #GangsMatrix and the Met will answer unless there is a data protection exemption
We encourage anyone subject to repeated stop and search or other ‘enforcement actions’ to submit a Subject Access Request to the Met to find out
The Met has agreed to overhaul the #GangsMatrix
Majority of people will be removed
No one else of 'low risk' will be added
Within 28 days of removing someone, Met will make sure all others they shared data with are notified that the person is not on the Matrix
The Met also conceded that there is an ‘unacceptably high rate’ of racial disproportionality in the #GangsMatrix, with the latest review showing that 80% of those named on it were Black
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
The Metropolitan Police will dismantle its racist #GangsMatrix database after landmark legal challenge from @AWATEMUSIC@UnjustUK and Liberty
Those of us at Stoke Newington cop shop getting no info. We've called the Met Police press line who dismissed us saying "someone just walked in and died."
So why have you hidden a police van under a tent? What are you trying to hide?
@MPSHackney are saying someone has died inside Stoke Newington Police Station and 'it's not being treated as suspicious'.
Why is the whole area cordoned off? Why are armed police outside? Why have they built a tunnel to keep the public from view? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE?
CALL-OUT for trained legal observers THIS EVENING at 6pm to monitor the policing of a silent vigil outside Parliament with people holding up placards to protest about recent #NotMyKing arrests. If you are available to help, contact [email protected]
Hey @SkyNews these 1000s of people were grieving and marching in solidarity with the family of Chris Kaba who was murdered by the @metpoliceuk. If you'd attended the vigil instead of only reporting on *that* death you might not have got it so wrong

The people seen as dangerous by a white supremacist ableist society. Racist assaults are almost everyday occurrences in HMP Belmarsh. These cowards think their big walls grant them impunity.
Let's show them, they wont.
Shut down HMP Belmarsh ❤️🔥
You can't abolish cops or prisons without abolishing the other. The higher the category of the prison the more Muslim prisoners, the more prisoners of colour, the more Black prisoners, the more neurodivergent prisoners. Even more so in the segregation units
@CAPExpansion@NejmaCollective@Maslaha Cops kidnap people and disappear them into prisons. They leave our homes & communities absent of our loved ones, sometimes for decades, sometimes for life (Rest in power, Taylor)
🚨ACTION ALERT!🚨 Join Copwatch and @CAPExpansion this Saturday 27th August at HMP Belmarsh (Woolwich area, London) at 5pm. When we say all cops are bastards, we are also saying all screws are bastards, we are saying all prisons need to be shut down
