The Post Office Horizon scandal is a terrible miscarriage of justice. But in our haste to correct it, we must not abandon due process. My thoughts in @Telegraph: https://t.co/4nSemUIkmo
"The government... have to tell us why they made this decision... when the person who is going wasn't there for the scandal" Labour's Jonathan Reynolds says "there must be specific reasons" why Post Office chair Henry Staunton was removed #BBCLauraK https://t.co/IYXBpfUNl5 https://t.co/hpvkkcewKa
'The main problem is the culture within the Post Office... traipsing before the public inquiry, all of these liars'. This is an opportunity to speed up the payment of compensation and refocus the Post Office brand, says Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom. https://t.co/KWtLeugQuT
Lord Arbuthnot tells @TimesRadio the Post Office brand is now “so tarnished we may have to get rid of it”. He also calls for the Government to sort the Post Office scandal before the election so it doesn’t become “a political football” and says treatment of Ed Davey was unfair.
