A CAMPAIGNER deceived into a six-year relationship with a spycop has accused the Undercover Policing Inquiry of snubbing the “pivotal” role played by women in uncovering the scandal.

Lisa — the name is a pseudonym to protect her identity — also criticised the public inquiry for treating campaigners as “secondary” to the police. 

The environmental activist exposed the true identity of her former partner, undercover police officer Mark Kennedy, whom she was with from 2003 to 2010.
