Northumbria Police decided to investigate itself over a year ago after destroying papers in April 2024 about Orgreave & the miners strike. We understand their investigation has concluded but they won’t reveal the outcome #OrgreaveInquiry www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Police destruction of miner strike files likely a focus of public inquiry

The files, said to have been destroyed last year, were related to the 1984 so-called Battle of Orgreave.

Local businesses in Birmingham are suffering. Like residents & bin workers, they want to see an end to the strike. Why did @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social walk away from a ballpark agreement and from all negotiations back in the summer 2025? Do your job. Get in the room. Negotiate a fair settlement

OTJC ACTIVISTS MET MPs IN PARLIAMENT this week & gave a presentation to the Coalfields Labour MPs. The whole experience of the #MinersStrike exemplified in the events of 18 June 1984 was of the destruction of protected rights #OrgreaveInquiry #Truth #Justice #DefendTheRightToProtest
