Becoming very irritated by reporting that “faulty software” was the root of the problem in the post office scandal. Software often has faults. But the root of the problem was senior managers in the Post Office & Fujitsu who lied and lied; and who had no care for the postmasters

Why can't the government just accept the Post Office system was a disaster and repay all the money it took from the postmasters? Rescind the convictions. pay their legal bills. Lawsuits - who pays - can all come later. Put them back to some sort of square one.

The Horizon scandal is the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history. The Post Office lied about who had access to the accounts and the computers. That fact makes every single conviction unsafe and, put simply, wrong. We need to quickly right this injustice.

“It’s not should she give it back or it be taken away. Who gave it to her in the first place?” Alan Bates, post office campaigner tells @kirstywark that those who awarded the CBE to Paula Vennells knew about the scandal. #newsnight

Journalist: "What do you think is your greatest achievement?" David Bowie: "Marrying my wife." "But as a musician?" "Nothing else matters."

Jayne revealed that Post Office director Angela Van Den Bogerd - played by Katherine Kelly in #MrBatesVsThePostOffice - travelled to the Wirral to get Griffiths's wife "Gina to sign the NDA”. She was given only 24 hours to accept the “pistol to the head” deal.

Fujitsu was awarded £4.9bn of govt contracts after the 2019 court ruling that its software was faulty in the Post Office Horizon scandal on.ft.com/47x51G5

Ed Davey was paid £833 an hour - over £220,000 in total - to advise lawyers who were acting for the Post Office. (Taking taxpayers’ money to persecute petrified, innocent people.) As Postal Affairs minister, Davey refused to believe Alan Bates about Post Office bullying. But

"It was our job to access counters in the Post Office to fix problems. We would insert data to fix problems. If Fujitsu didn't want the PostMaster to know about it, then the PostMaster didn't know about it" Richard Roll, Fujitsu engineer, 2001-2004 on BBC Panorama's: The Post

I am well chuffed that our 2015 @bbcpanorama Trouble At The Post Office is back on BBC iPlayer. Hero whistleblower Richard Roll told me about Horizon: "there were errors with the system". From our Panorama going out in August 2015, it was clear that Post Office and Fujitsu were

Of course it should. Fujitsu could have to repay ‘fortune’ spent on Horizon scandal, Justice Secretary says - ITV News apple.news/AI9xd5HJAQg6Td…

Farrukh So is he accusing the lawyers of forcing him to lie? Very serious either way.

Arbuthnot says Fujitsu must face criminal charges for perverting the course of justice, theft and fraud. This is big. #c4news Also the Post Office guy Stephen Bradshaw was today accused of intimidating, threatening and cruel behaviour. #PostOfficeScandal

Great piece by Andrew Head and Tim Robinson on how the Post Office tried to stop our 2015 BBC Panorama "Trouble At The Post Office". Secret briefings with the editor, threats seeking to nobble our witnesses and a wall of lies. But fair play to BBC Panorama we stuck to our guns.

Worse and worse and worse bit.ly/3vHls5e Post Office lied about Fujitsu having remote access to postmasters’ computers, saying it didn’t when it knew it did

It’s possible to mourn the Oct. 7 murdered Israelis, hope for safe return of hostages & condemn antisemitism AND ALSO oppose the slaughter of Palestinians, demand a free Palestine & human rights 4 all, condemn US/UK complicity in war crimes & cheer S. Africa & Yemen’s heroism

The grand launch of The Phoenix Club first aired 23 years ago this week!

I like to think that, if there’s an afterlife, it’s a bit like the old TMS commentary box at Lord’s - all chocolate cake, Arlott’s red wine and Johnners’ practical jokes, with cricket legends wandering in and out all day and a Test Match going on outside on a beautiful August day
