Should Prisoners Maintaining Innocence be allowed to speak to the media as a general rule rather than on a 'case by case' basis? Please share for a wider research pool @EmpowerInnocent @JohnDavisJDLLM @PhilMitchell83 @MalePsychology @AccusedScots @franticworry @SAVEservicesorg

Three former Married At First Sight UK contestants have alleged they were sexually assaulted while on the show. The Met Police are encouraging 'anyone who believes they have been a victim of sexual assault' to contact them, in light of these allegations. Sky's @BarnabyPap reports

Is there a different Justice System for females? Wonder if there has been some gender specific funding up for grabs?

@CrimBarrister I am not sure how the police DFU could use such third party material as part of their FSR Code of Practice neither......so even more will be dealt with outside of the DFUs. I for one will still be screaming (into what appears to be a void) about requiring full disclosure....

Wonder how many wrongfully imprisoned people would give anything to be relaxing in a bath before heading out for a meal and drinks and possibly a casino?

On this day in 1536, Anne Boleyn stood trial accused of adultery, incest & plotting the assassination of her husband, King Henry VIII. Many historians now believe the charges were fabricated to destroy her reputation & remove her from power after she failed to produce a male heir. The so-called evidence was riddled with impossibilities. In several instances, records show Anne & her alleged lovers were not even in the same place at the same time. No witnesses testified against her. Only one accused man, Mark Smeaton, confessed — almost certainly under torture. The verdict itself was delivered by a carefully selected jury in what many would now recognise as a political show trial. Four days later, Anne Boleyn was executed. False allegations are not a modern invention. History repeatedly reminds us how dangerous it is when accusation replaces evidence, when public hysteria overtakes due process, & when guilt is assumed before facts are properly tested. The presumption of innocence remains one of the cornerstones of a civilised society & once lost, it is difficult to recover. @FACTukorg

It was a privilege to welcome around 90 attendees to our recent @FACTukorg conference for what was an important, thoughtful & deeply engaging discussion on the devastating impact of false allegations in positions of trust - whether that is carers, police officers or teachers. False allegations are not rare or harmless. They ruin lives, corrode trust & pervert justice. We must confront this crisis with courage, evidence & truth. The afternoon was marked by honest debate, powerful personal insights & a shared determination to ensure that lessons from past injustices are neither forgotten nor repeated. I was especially delighted that my dear friend Stephen Wright, former Associate Editor at the Daily Mail, joined us to reflect on his distinguished journalistic career, including his extensive work uncovering the truth behind Operation Midland. My sincere thanks to everyone who attended for their continued support of FACT and its work. I would also like to thank those who helped facilitate the conference, particularly Brian Hudson (@FACTSVUAA), whose tireless advocacy and commitment to FACT continues to make such events possible.

As part of learning about what is happening in the UK in 2026 in the realm of false allegations and legal cases relating to my forensic psychology field, I will be attending the FACT conference (@FACTukorg) tomorrow.

Well said Harvey - what do you think @LDNVictimsComm, do Lady Brittan, Harvey Proctor and all the other victims of Operation Midland get your sympathy, or do you only ever talk about (alleged) VAWG cases? Same goes for you @VeraBaird @EmpowerInnocent @FACTukorg

2 ex-prosecutors 2 human rights lawyers, 1 doctor & one dual-qualified barrister / doctor experienced in medical negligence. Would have been nice to see one or two crimina defence solicitors &/or barristers as well.

Delighted to have organised an exclusive interview with Lady Diana Brittan for @thetimes. Speaking to Fiona Hamilton, she reflects on the lasting impact of false allegations against Leon Brittan & why reform is still needed more than a decade on from Operation Midland.

If the insulin "poisoning" theory is demolished the rest of the case collapses.

Powerful words from Lady Diana Brittan in @thetimes. Those falsely accused in Operation Midland are not recognised as victims & were not even told of Carl Beech’s release. Those falsely accused must be viewed as victims in law! @FACTukorg thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…
