Read yesterday, the previous PO CEO was ordered by government to delay compo to keep the liabilities off the books before an election. They're still trying to screw everyone involved - and it starts at the top, the govt.

CEO or Charman? Do you mean Nick Read or Henry Staunton?
Not the only one to get it wrong. Chemi sacked the wrong person, then called him a liar despite his contemporaneous note about being asked to go slow on compensation. Maybe sack Chemi and reinstate Staunton. RIP her leadership ambitions

Yeah, I think what I meant to say was what's the chance that anyone at the PO will go down?
Apart from maybe a token scapegoat, chances are that there will be a lengthy expensive investigation with 'insufficient evidence' found!
OK, mine was a bit off the cuff. I'm sure everybody on here knows you can go to gaol for perjury.
The advisers to the post office appear to have recorded a conversation with their clients, presumably to try to show Vennalls was aware that a third party could access Horizon. So we have trial by media, the public inquiry, and MP's siding with the people. Let's hope it doesn't all come to nothing.
I wish I was surprised.
The plot thickens...
As predicted, no wonder the government was keen to keep the DWP prosecutions out of the legislation to clear the sub postmasters...
"Prosecutions of sub postmasters by the Department for Work and Pensions could be "tainted" as Sky News reveals officials worked with now discredited Post Office investigators to secure convictions"
"Around 100 prosecutions of Post Office staff were led by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) between 2001 and 2006"
"A Sky News investigation, however, has discovered that information was shared between Post Office investigation teams and the DWP"

If you read the Story of Roger Allen, it was pretty appalling advice he got.
A guilty plea in exchange for discontinuance makes no sense.

Paula Vennells begins giving evidence (or displaying symptoms of dementia) today.
Here's hoping for a Jason Beer KC masterclass
