The ongoing Post Office Inquiry has revealed that a former Post Office communications director admitted to being part of a 'corporate cover-up' during the sub-postmaster prosecutions. This admission came years before the Post Office issued an apology to the victims of the Horizon scandal. The communications director also expressed that he never viewed the Post Office as the 'baddies', despite the significant impact on many lives, including financial distress, imprisonment, and even some taking their own lives. The former PR boss also acknowledged that his emails look ludicrous and found it fascinating to be part of a conspiracy.

At @computerweekly, we used to wonder whether the Post Office PR team actually believed what they were telling us, no matter the evidence to the contrary. Today's #PostOfficeInquiry evidence proves that yes, they absolutely did! https://t.co/iFMfzZWtIN
