Airing tonight: research by @BBCNews and @KingsCollegeLon finds almost 1/5 of U.K. citizens believe victims of terrorism aren’t telling the truth, that attacks are ‘hoaxes’, and the survivors are ‘crisis actors’. A depressing, but important, read for anyone working in this area.

EXCL: Conspiracy theorists, who claim UK terror attacks are staged, are tracking down survivors to homes and workplaces to see if they’re lying about injuries. And abuse is getting worse post-pandemic. I’ve investigated for BBC Panorama & Radio 4 podcasts.

You made your bed, now lie in it. I’ve yet to hear a valid argument as to why those who’ve ran off to Syria to join a terrorist organisation should then be allowed to return to the U.K.; far too dangerous for her to come back & it’s completely naive to say otherwise.

Overwhelmed by the amount of support for the project, but I shouldn’t have expected any less from @edgehill . Great university and great people - their support will no doubt help us grow the project tenfold @EHU_Research @EdgeHist

13 years, and rightfully so. Terrorist ideology is corrupting & ruining young minds and lives.

JAILED | Jacob Graham, 20, from Liverpool has today been sentenced to 13 years for terrorism offences. The investigation into Graham uncovered a huge number of manuals and publications which provided instructions on how to manufacture firearms, ammunition and explosives.

Lining up to enter the Spanish Royal Palace for an event with the King + Queen, and Ministers from across Europe, to mark the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism. There are no excuses why the UK can’t adopt & observe a day like this!

Terrorism can affect anyone, anywhere, at any time - we are simply the unlucky few. If you see or hear something that doesn’t feel right, report your concerns to @TerrorismPolice . You are not wasting their time. #TakeActionSaveLives Thanks for taking part Max Balegde.

On Tuesday, I was back over in Berlin on invitation from the British Embassy @UKinGermany and Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK to speak at a UK-German counterterrorism exchange. Very interesting to contrast approaches, positives and pitfalls, we both have.

Incredibly moving day on Sunday, attending the 21st Anniversary Commemorations of the #September11 Attacks at @Sept11Memorial in NYC. Had a lovely chat with @MikeBloomberg , and spent the day with several of those affected by the attack. #NeverForget911 #tributeinlight

Keep an eye on @TerrorismPolice ’s social platforms tonight as we launch the first phase of a new vigilance campaign aimed at encouraging young people to report any concerns they might have around radicalisation- and how to spot the warning signs.

Goodbye to the worst PM of our generation. Completely callous throughout and disinterested in supporting victims of terrorism, despite everything she spouts every time an attack happens- can’t say I look at this news as anything other than a positive. No sympathy here I’m afraid.

Had my own personal reasons for not taking part in #FourDaysThatShookBritain but a lot of respect for those who did. After the awful year we had last year, it’s time for the government to finally act to provide proper care for survivors and families and prepare for the future

Absolutely exhausting day. Interviews for @survivors_a_t this morning, followed by assessment at University in the afternoon, and topped off by an evening @GiveBloodNHS donation. Can’t say it wasn’t productive though ..

A very timely reminder that the effects of terrorism never truly leave, even if it may get easier for some with the passage of time. Kudos to these survivors of terrorism for speaking out, 25yrs on from their attack!

3 Yrs since the Fishmongers’ Hall Attack today which means it’s also 3 Yrs since both @Conservatives & @UKLabour made election manifesto pledges to consult on a survivors’ charter to improve support for victims. And, of course, still nothing. A real indictment on our politics.
