Ex-Post Office chief hits back at Badenoch after claim of ‘spreading falsehoods’
The row between Henry Staunton and Kemi Badenoch deepened on Monday.
www.irishnews.com
'In a statement given to reporters, they said he had recorded the comment about delaying compensation “at the time in a file note which he emailed to himself and to colleagues and which is therefore traceable on the Post Office Server”.
David Cameron's government knew the Post Office had ditched a secret investigation that might have helped wrongly accused postmasters prove their innocence, the BBC can reveal.

From the man who managed to f.up the Referendum, now this: the Tory government of the day knew. They lied, then tried to cover up the fact. A ****ing plague upon the damned lot of 'em.

A distinct lack of right wingers views and comments on this.
Ashamed? Afraid to criticise? No defence ?

It doesn’t make much sense. £500m is not a lot of money in government spending. A recording is available but lost. I can only assume there was either context or lies.
Has he named the people he emailed the secret recording to or the senior civil servant who instructed him?

Next, she'll be saying she was present in a 'hundred conversations a year' to bolster up that story.
Watching the news tonight. Apparently there is an electronic note of the conversation and other colleagues were informed at the time.............................................. she's toast
She'll be alright......
.......my bet is she'll just find someone else to sling under the bus

I don’t think any experienced business leader would take an oral instruction to overrule a letter setting out objectives and priorities.
Particularly from a source with no apparent authority. Since when did chairs of the board take instruction from civil servants and why was the chair even contacted. The chair is not able to have such operational responsibility.
Have you forgot who started the thread ? usual clown comment as the entire debacle includes both parties
