This afternoon I attended the Undercover Policing Inquiry at Juxon House as research for a news feature for Sussex Bylines.

The inquiry detailed the actions of Special Branch MET police officer Mark Jenner throughout the late 1990s.

As it's nearly Xmas if @rudibanfield.bsky.social has some of that 'Do Ask Do Get' energy to spare perhaps he could share a bit with
Quentin Letts at the Mail?

I've seen recent 🔥pieces on @zackpolanski.bsky.social
by new journos Rudi and @chewheeler.bsky.social

Time to budge over Quenty!

Frank Turner never fails to impress.
Just had a listen to Hot Water Music, great band. Particularly like the song Menace, it has an air of Frank Turner mixed with something a little more hardcore. Cheers for the recommendation
