The Post Office is currently embroiled in controversy, with its Chief Executive, Nick Read, under an 80-page HR investigation, as claimed by the former chairman, Henry Staunton. The situation has led to allegations of a 'smear campaign' against Staunton, reportedly led by Kemi Badenoch. Amidst these developments, questions have been raised in Parliament regarding the confidence in Read's leadership. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, responding to inquiries, emphasized the government's priority of working closely with the Post Office to deliver justice for postmasters, without directly addressing the confidence in Read's leadership.
