#Spycops officer admits behaviour while spying on left-wing activists was cruel. Despite being married, to aid his cover, he had a five-year sexual relationship with an activist, moving into her flat, holidaying with her & attending many family gatherings

Why is the "Public" Inquiry into Undercover Policing protecting this man? Who is HN1 Matt "Rayner" Why are we not even allowed to see his face? Is he a Top Cop? Security Services? #spycops #findhim

Lets hope that housing developments on environmentally valuable land doesn't continue to undermine nature. There is a conflict of aims here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I DONT think it was a waste of money from the establishment's point of view. I believe they largely got the effect they wanted.

Today’s evidence at the #spycops inquiry covered spying on women’s peace organisations & plans for a jumble sale, a disco, & a picnic plus details about a group’s bank balance. Spying on non-violent activist meetings with 10 women present. A monumental waste of pubic money.

My father was spied on for 40 years. We will never know the who the 'delicate sources' close to our family were.

[to the streets! shut it down! @streets]

@wikileaks Most of the undercover officers being called as witnesses in this very secret 'public' inquiry have been granted anonymity, even for their cover names. This means the victims of their abuses may never know that they were spied on, or tricked into relationships by #SpyCops

[Helen Lindsay @hmlindsay]

@Helen121 @llantwit We will be able have some idea but not for 50 years! Archives are released after the 50 year rule. We need them sooner.

[Helen121 🕷💙🇪🇺🐈‍⬛ @Helen121]

@llantwit Stasi spied on 5m people. When we include all trade unions, political parties to left of Labour, peace organisations, anti-racist orgs, gays, school & university students, politically-active black families - I doubt we will ever know the true extent of MI5 surveillance. #spycops

[Helen Lindsay @hmlindsay]

@Helen121 @llantwit If you include the 1000s of left wingers and communists under MI5 surveillance since 1935 you will come up with an extremely large number.

Kate Hudson is asked to consider how much impact the #spycops had on CND. She says it suggests there was a political campaign to undermine the democratic right of CND to campaign peacefully.

[Tom Fowler @tombfowler]

The Undercover Policing Inquiry is at times interesting, at others dead dull. The details range from alleged bomb plots to tedious Freedom Collective meetings from 40 years ago. #spycops

Kate Hudson the General Secretary of @CNDuk gave evidence to the #spycops inquiry. Here CND give their view on the state sponsored surveillance sanctioned by Goverment. https://t.co/Zc8mTyPn24

Make sure you join CND.

Media coverage of infiltration of the anti nuclear movement including @CNDuk by #spycops. Good article and assessment by @robevansgdn at ‘the Guardian.’ https://t.co/pfHSKwtfNf

Yes yes yes

Barr offers a beautiful summary of the #spycops rationale to reporting on progressive movements asking if their approach ‘gives you carte blanche to report on pretty much anything?’
