The Horizon software scandal, involving the Post Office and its sub-postmasters, continues to unfold with new developments. Labour's Pat McFadden, former Post Office minister, admitted he should have made more inquiries into the scandal, acknowledging that "Each time an MP raised a question" about the system's robustness, the Post Office claimed it was robust. The scandal, described as the widest miscarriage of justice in British history, is still "ongoing", with some sub-postmasters being pursued for thousands of pounds and experiencing "glitches" with the Horizon IT system. Investigative efforts by journalist Karlfl from Computer Weekly have revealed potential flaws in the Horizon system's predecessor, 'Capture', suggesting that up to "1,000 SPMR's" could be affected. Amidst these revelations, it has been announced that sub-postmasters shortchanged due to the scandal will receive "full compensation".
