It's worth noting that these transcripts illustrate Helen Steel's exemplary grasp of detail and razor-sharp analysis.

In T3P3D26 she nails how MPSB officers inside and outside of SDS knew HN5 John Dines & she were in a relationship, and that HN10 Bob Lambert set it up.

But these (and 9 more exhibits) were previously accessible through the Index to Bundle released in August. It's almost as if the chaotically byzantine publishing schedule of the #spycops inquiry is intentional.

I see that the #spycops inquiry has drip-released some more documents onto its website today - Duwayne Brooks' First Statement, and 17 associated exhibits (out of at least 43).

Your periodic public service announcement that some documents have been published on the #spycops inquiry website (because, like, it's too much, y'know, HASSLE for @ucpinquiry to do it):

TS for HN60 ‘Dave Evans’; witness statements/exhibits from @davenellist & @StaffordScott_.

New on the #spycops-adjacent reading pile... 'Neither Confirm Nor Deny - British Intelligence, Lawless Agent Running And The Suppression Of Truth' certainly has a familiar ring to it

"After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK."

@BristleKRS and let's not forget #spycops HN86 who conveniently lives abroad and cannot be compeled to come, first throwing his toys out and then claiming to be too ill, although we don't get to see the medical details that convinced Mitting.

[Helen Steel @helensteel12]

#Spycops scandal:
Undercover police officer lied to #SpycopsInquiry about sexual relationship.

Officer forced to admit to long term relationship with woman while he spying on the SWP and animal rights campaigners under fake name Dave Evans.

Helen Steel managed to ask the question that had eluded every counsel to the inquiry over the years: if the met's apology was truly apologetic, why did it put its heart into withholding every drop of information it could? Well beyond the point of dignity?

Declassified docs reveal:
* 7 Brits - '3 ex-SAS '- were caught spying in Cuba
* 4 are now affiliated to the Association of British Investigators
* I is the ABI president promoting a code of conduct that was suspended over internal ethics row

[Alison Smith @AlisonSpycops]

I said in my evidence to the #spycops inquiry that 'come the revolution', I'll make the tea. Turns out I'll be bag monitor.

@_pasttense_ SDS: set up on Labour Home Secretary Jim Callaghan's watch

NPOIU: set up on Labour Home Secretary Jack Straw's watch

Public responses to the #spycops inquiry 'consultation': refused on Labour Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's watch

[Ben @gringoben]

@M_Star_Online Here's how the @ukhomeoffice welcomed 2600+ responses to their public CONsultation on the future of the #spycops inquiry....

[COPS @copscampaign]

"It stinks of a cover up"

The @M_Star_Online have already covered the story of the Home Office's latest attempts to shut up #spycops survivors and shut down the @ucpinquiry

https://t.co/2cvv2dd7eA

[COPS @copscampaign]

The deadline for those wishing to respond to the @ukhomeoffice 'consultation' is Sunday.

We're also asking supporters to contact their MPs and raise this issue - help save the #spycops inquiry - more info at https://t.co/VxCgJCnGcX

[COPS @copscampaign]

Maybe the @ucpinquiry will shock us all on Monday by releasing his real name into the wild?
After 'HN60's given his evidence & publicly admitted to tricking at least one woman into a sexual relationship during his #spycops deployment, there is no excuse to maintain his anonymity

[BristleKRS @BristleKRS]

TBF he's already monetised his consent-untroubled fantasies in his #spycops novels

[Ben @gringoben]

The absolute lack of respect shown by the @ukhomeoffice is off the scale.

Even when given advance notice they failed to have somebody meet us and formally receive the response to THEIR consultation on the future of the #spycops inquiry!

#ShameOnThem

[Police Spies Out of Lives @out_of_lives]

An eventful morning at the @ukhomeoffice as we delivered responses to its consultation into the future of the #spycops inquiry. More to follow...

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

This abuse of state power over decades should be far better publicised. See BELOW

The UK media has for the most part completely ignored it

(Whatever one’s views about the police behaviour, their appalling conduct is newsworthy and has plenty of human interest)
