The UK's Post Office scandal, termed one of the greatest miscarriages of justice by the Prime Minister, continues to unravel. Conservative MP Jonathan Lord cited a constituent owed a full apology from the Post Office. A TalkTV investigation exposed that the Post Office paid £37.5 million to a law firm to prevent postmasters' compensation, with Wendy Buffrey criticizing their defense. Documents indicate the Post Office was aware of faults in the Capture IT system since 1995, yet prosecutions continued. MPs like Bambos Charalambous, representing affected constituents Kamran and Siema, are demanding justice. The ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' has brought the issue to the fore, with Post Office Minister Kevin Hollinrake apologizing to former subpostmaster Jo Hamilton. Convictions based on the flawed Horizon IT system are being overturned, including a case of a sub-postmistress from Eastbourne.

Since #MrBatesVsThePostOffice aired, I have now been contacted by as many people affected by Capture as by Horizon. The Post Office needs to come clean about Capture. It knew it was faulty, yet it still prosecuted people on the basis of it. My letter to the Government 👇 https://t.co/NQnoI5d6oa
