Trying the "village idiot" defence now. This is beyond disgusting that the officers right at the top during the worst of the misconduct and abuses now claim to not even understand simple questions put to them about their part in allowing it to continue unchecked #Spycops#Liars
Public inquiry discloses evidence that police destroyed #spycops files on MPs, Ricky Reel, anti-racist groups, peace campaigns, trade unions & links to #blacklisting.

Labour's Scottish Secretary Ian Murray is to be handed £150m by Keir Starmer to spend as he wishes. This is the same amount Labour cut from the winter fuel payment.
We are calling on Murray to give it back to the pensioners. Retweet with the #GiveItBack hashtag if you agree.
Brilliant day with impromptu rendition of 13th century St Magnus Hymn by Robin Barr near Brough of Birsay. Then on to Yesnaby & a passing pod of Orcas spotted by Steve Sankey of Orcadian Wildlife. Wow. Orkney.
Those in the media attacking @ASLEFunion today already know the real economic pirates are the richest 1% who’s wealth doubled during Covid while our living standards have fallen massively. ALL workers deserve a decent pay rise! #UnionStrong#PayWeDemandBetter#TaxTheRich

Wishing @ASLEFunion a successful outcome for their pay talks with @ScotRail this week. All Scotland’s workers deserve a pay rise in line with the cost of living and the best way to secure that is through membership of a strong trade union. #unionpower
