Always pleased to receive critical feedback from those who have read 'Rocking the Boat' but absolutely elated to get this review from such a legendary Police officer!!

@99Jeffro @holmesdaleUSA @NYEagles @CPFC_Tampa @cpfc_indy Great to hear!!

Went to Selhurst today (coming from the US) and splurged on an executive box. Who was next to us? This guy! He was awesome. Cheering, knew the chants…amazing! @holmesdaleUSA @NYEagles @CPFC_Tampa @cpfc_indy

@Zincroofing @BasilTheGreat Effectively splitting the right wing vote and scuppering NFs election chances....

@BasilTheGreat Everyone I know have switched from Reform to Restore Britain

Rupert Lowe wanted to deport rape gangs and the communities who protected them Nigel Farage has just admitted on stage in front of thousands that he got rid of Rupert Lowe from Reform and made false claims to the Police about him because he wanted those gangs to stay in the UK

acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc… the latest @MetBPA newsletter provides a candid glimpse of life inside the UK's largest police force, from a Black police personnel perspective. These communications, devoid of spin, are so important as they help us gauge the real pace of reform.

@PalaceReport @CPFC @CEO4TAG Williams & Watson A quitter never wins. McFadden & Whitehead's Ain't no stopping us now. Also, Keni Burke's Rising to the top, all preferable Elvis imo.

Would you like the club to continue playing Elvis’s “Wise men say” before the game? @cpfc @CEO4TAG If not, what suggestions do you have? 👇

@Mofoman360 Heard of a no win situation, well this probably fits the definition!!! Damned if you do and damned if you don't!!

So M&S have gone all WOKE in their Christmas adverts by including people who clearly DON’T celebrate Christmas

I know!!

theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o… Findings are not inconsistent with the 1990 Bristol Seminars report - another report that's never been published. @MetBPA

“I'm Jewish.. All Jewish people are not k!llers. This is just a section of the Israeli people that are like that.. What happened in Gaza was utterly wrong, wicked and terrifying. The Hamas attack was terrible.. but it came from 70 years of oppression..” —Miriam margolyes

Honoured to speak at the @MetBPA AGM in London, Waterloo today. As politics drifts right, our institutions follow — testing the resilience of Black officers already facing deep inequalities at work. @metpoliceuk #rockingtheboat

Our Press Statement following yet more shocking revelations of racism by staff and officers based in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP), the Met Detention Command (MO9), and Charing Cross (AW) located at #CharingCrossPoliceStation

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC I recall Sector policing (community policing) being trialled in the early 90s and ever since then successive Commissioners have continually rebadged community policing with varying degrees of success. It works but is hugely resource intensive and unpopular with adrenalin junkies.

‘Neighbourhood teams are there to tackle the things you see in your area.’ Commissioner Mark Rowley explains the new ‘Met Engage’ service to @NickFerrariLBC.

@eNCA @Abramjee And hopefully we'll see a national roll-out of the @SaferSA_ #communities& justice programme in all of these schools

A recent report by the provincial legislature flagged 245 schools as high-risk, gripped by violence, drug abuse, bullying and gang activities. In an effort to address violence in schools, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube, are launching the Safe Schools Protocol. #eNCA #TheSouthAfricanMorning #DStv403

@JacquiMckenzie6 Very sad to read this, condolences to Courtenay's friends and family. A pioneer, crusader and mentor. He will be sorely missed. RIP🙏🏼

In Memorium I am saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Courtenay Griffiths KC, today, aged 69. There are a few people I owe my career in law to and Courtenay was very much near the top of the list, such was his grace with time, advice and even some chiding. I last saw him in July 2019 when we were both panellists at a colloqium organised by the British Foundation of the University of West Indies, at the Trinidad & Tobago High Commission, on the Windrush Scandal and Hostile Environment. Courtenay was ill then, but sharp, funny and as delightful to be with as ever. We said we'd talk more about the Windrudh scandal and how it had come to be, but sadly we never did. Through his practice at Garden Court and 25 Bedford Row Chambers, he acted in major criminal and human rights cases, in the UK and overseas, and left an indelible mark of greatness on our profession, and on the world. The in conversation piece with Professor Paul Gilroy at UCL, below, provides a great insight into Courtenay's work and thoughts. Condolences to his loved ones and colleagues. #DrCourtenayGriffiths lnkd.in/ewcDKVwA

@DermotMurnaghan @susannareid100 So very sad. My brother is surviving the exact same condition and has entered his 6th year of leading a relatively normal (he still works) lifestyle. Wishing you the very best!

Some personal news……I’ve been diagnosed with Stage IV advanced prostate cancer I’m fortunate to have a simply outstanding medical team looking after me, who I can’t thank enough - they are administering the best possible care with expertise, compassion and sensitivity.

It appears Fox News may have manipulated audio from the 250 Army parade. In the first clip from Fox News viewers heard a crowd sing "Happy Birthday" to the president. It's not audible in the same footage from Fox Nation, Fox Live Now, AP, USA Today, Reuters, PBS, ABC, CBS or NBC

@AlAlbrecht269 @declassifiedUK Will you make very clear the nature of the offence committed?

@declassifiedUK The raiding a 'pro Palestinian' journalist’s home , lets make that very clear.

Lawyer Tayab Ali: “The actions of the police, raiding a journalist’s home under the guise of counter-terrorism, were not only unlawful but a grave threat to the democratic principle that journalists must be able to work without fear of state harassment.” solicitorsjournal.com/sjarticle/jour…

@cathynewman interview with ex-@metpoliceuk AC Neil Basu. He admits to being "ashamed" for not challenging racism. I met him in '94 at Battersea & urged him to attend our BME officers’ support group. He didn't—and I understand why. The pressure to conform remains overwhelming.

@John_Hopcock @dom_lucre Oh, really, remember Rodney King???

🔥🚨BREAKING: The 5 former Memphis officers who beat Tyre Nichols to death have been acquitted of all state charges. This has led to a fury of backlash in Memphis.
