We got to see some more questioning of #spycops officer HN1 'Matt Rayner' this afternoon. Among his array of bullshit denials, he said he wouldn't have handled rescued dogs as he's scared of dogs & doesn't handle them. See the reply for a photo that shows he's lying

A weird day at the #spycops public inquiry, we heard about 45 minutes before it went into a secret session that we're not allowed to hear. Tom Fowler & Heather Mendick give incisive analysis of the deeply flawed structure of the entire inquiry

As with other #spycops managers at the Undercover Policing Inquiry, today Malcolm Macleod is being forced to concede there's no way Bob Lambert could've got his info on the Animal Liberation Front without being deeply involved. Quick reaction in the afternoon break:

At the end of the #spycops inquiry's 1st of 2 days questioning manager HN109 who's not just defending his own actions but also pretty much all of the unit's abuses. His anger at particular other officers and the existence of the inquiry is palpable.

It's not been livestreamed, but Tom & Heather were at the hearing and discuss the day

'The majority of the time he can't recall, but when he can recall it's a lie'.

Spycop boss Eric Docker is on the witness stand at the public inquiry today. Here's the afternoon report, largely discussing Docker's oversight of spycop Bob Lambert when he was part of an Animal Liberation Front cell that put incendiary devices in shops.

As this round of spycops public inquiry hearings approach their end, we're hearing from managers. Today & tomorrow it's Eric Docker, probably the grumpiest witness yet.

Here's Tom Fowler & Eveline Lubbers of the Undercover Research Group after the opening questions

Lunchtime report from the Undercover Policing Inquiry, hearing from admin officer Michael Couch about how spycops were paid overtime to go out on the lash with activists, putting it all on expenses. He was the one spycops went to if they had any problems, yet claims he can't remember a single specific example.

Lunchtime report from the spycops public inquiry, where they've been questioning the undercover unit's boss in the 1980s. This morning's revelations include police passing details of activists to private companies.

Live report from the Undercover Policing Inquiry on the second day of questioning the manager Tony Waite. This unrepentant & unreformed Special Demonstration Squad boss shows a complete lack of concern over his officers setting up miscarriages of justice.

Tom Fowler & Chris Brian from the Undercover Research Group discuss what they just heard:

The Undercover Policing Inquiry's been questioning #spycops boss Tony Waite. Tom Fowler talks to the Undercover Research Group's Donal O'Driscoll, summarising how this manager oversaw corrupt & unlawful spying that breached Home Office rules, & nobody seemed to care.
