On this day in 1987, IRA terrorists murdered 12 people in my home town who were attending a Remembrance Sunday service. Every day I work to help combat the horror and misery of violent extremism, I think of these people. #Enniskillen

My latest on Epping disorder and the press briefing that wasn't. Do let me know what you think. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) Public Order and Public Safety Portfolio is currently led by Chief Constable BJ Harrington. 🙃 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
🎯People are sick to death of boss class authoritarian moral vanity. That's what it is and that's all it is and it's falling apart in front of us thanks to one woman who wouldn't be told.

I'm shocked and saddened to hear horrific news about a fatal shooting incident in Fermanagh where I was born. No details yet but it's a beautiful place where sudden, violent death should be behind it.

Telling piece by my friend @NotThatBigIan in the @spectator on the inescapable physicality of policing. Farage is a saloon-bar bore yearning for a never-was golden age, but the insidious discouragement of risk-taking is a genuine problem. spectator.co.uk/article/farage…
Staggering. Utter tactical stupidity then naked denial until found out. The full English of incompetence.
Exclusive: Essex Police admit they did escort masked 'Stand Up To Racism' counterprotestors towards the Bell Hotel last Thursday.
The only way things improve is through embarrassment. If that is the metric of progress we now must live with, life expectancy in Fife is set to rocket. #sandiepeggie
