Here's what the huge police investigation into the #Salisbury attack has established about the prime suspects "Petrov" and "Boshirov":
1) They flew into Gatwick at 3pm on Friday, 2 March on an Aeroflot flight from Moscow. Flight number SU2588.
2) It's believed they travelled by train into London, arriving at Victoria station at approximately 5.40pm.
3) Then they were on the London Underground to Waterloo station. They were there for an hour until 7pm. They stayed in the City Stay Hotel in Bow Road, East London, on Friday, 2 March and Saturday, 3 March.
4) Saturday 3 March: Reconnaissance operation. The pair leave the hotel and reach Waterloo station at approximately 11.45am. They get a train to Salisbury, arriving at approximately 2.25pm. They spend less than two hours in the city, leaving at 4.10pm.
5) Sunday 4 March. The attack. "Petrov" and "Boshirov" undertake the same journey from their London hotel to Salisbury, leaving Waterloo at 8.05am. CCTV shows the pair near Mr Skripal's home. And they are accused of contaminating his front door with Novichok.
6) Finally, the escape. Petrov and Boshirov returned to Waterloo Station at approximately 4.45pm. Less than two hours later they took the Underground to Heathrow and departed at 10.30pm for Moscow on Aeroflot flight SU2585.

I'm going to retweet the crucial evidential pictures of the #Salisbury suspects in the correct chronological order, with some maps. It shows how quickly the suspects struck and left the city. Here's the thread:
1) Arrival in Salisbury. "Petrov" and "Boshirov" take a train to Salisbury on Sunday 4 March - after carrying out recon the day before. Here they are at Salisbury station at 11.48am. They are about a mile or so from Mr Skripal's home:
2) Ten minutes later, they're filmed on a petrol station CCTV on Wilton Road. Police say this was on the way to the attack. This makes sense if you consider the direction they are walking and their proximity to Mr Skripal's home:

Good morning from the Court of Appeal. I’m here for the judgement in the Tommy Robinson case aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. He’s serving 13 months for Contempt of Court.
He’s appealed his admission of the Contempt on a technicality and the sentence as too harsh. It’s a complicated story and there’s a lot of totally inaccurate reporting on social media. So here are the facts:
He has admitted two incidences of Contempt of Court - meanint he admitted to actions that could have derailed fair trials and the duty if juries to reach their verdicts without being potentially influenced.

Absolutely damning details published today of failings to prevent the radicalisation of Ahmed Hassan, jailed for life for his failed bomb attack that sent a fireball down a London Underground train. Here's just some:

Poisoned Russian spy Sergei Skripal’s pet guinea pigs and cat have died after being sealed in his Salisbury home by the police.
The guinea pigs were found dead when a vet was eventually allowed by the police to enter Sergei Skripal’s home. We understand they starved to death - they weren’t killed by Novichok nerve agent.
The cat (name unknown) was found in a highly distressed state. Again, no evidence it was suffering from nerve agent poisoning. BBC understands it was dehydrated so it was put down.
