Former Post Office executives and officials are embroiled in a scandal involving the Horizon system. Susan Crichton sought to influence an independent review, while Nick Read is accused of focusing on his pay. Paula Vennells' husband advised on Horizon issues, and there are claims of downplaying problems. Legislation to aid Scottish victims is under scrutiny, with accusations of political manipulation. The Post Office faced criticism for semantics regarding Horizon bugs, and internal conflicts have emerged within the organization.
The Post Office's former general counsel felt "scapegoated" over the conclusions of an independent report she commissioned into the IT system used to prosecute hundreds of innocent people, she told the inquiry into the scandal Tuesday. https://t.co/NGKISrGsRB

The UK Government's decision to extend Horizon legislation to every nation in the UK except Scotland is scandalous. The fact the Tories are willing to use Scottish victims of the Royal Mail's Horizon system as a political football is unforgivable. The PM must change course. https://t.co/GUAo8jxBXR
