Over the past 10 days we’ve revealed a series of exclusive secret recordings of meetings involving the most senior Post Office bosses - including its ex-CEO Paula Vennells - which take you behind closed doors to what the PO was told, was saying and what it knew in 2013/14. 🧵
1/ Paula Vennells was present in a 2013 meeting when investigators told her & Post Office staff of allegations about remote access to branch accounts and that their denials were ‘dangerous’, warning them not to cover up issues. You can hear PV on the tape itv.com/watch/news/sec…
@DanielHewittITV Secret recordings are often frowned upon by the Judiciary - your reporting highlights the need for a Statutory of Candour for all public servants to try and stem the culture of deceit many organs of the State thrive in
@DanielHewittITV Seems like the post office needs a good post mortem.
@DanielHewittITV @Sharonb11188026 I’ve just watched your story @Sharonb11188026 on bbc breakfast & was so touched by it. I’m from Pallion originally & know Pennywell well. I am hoping you get justice. So so sorry for the ordeal you’ve gone through. You will get what’s owed in every way . Keep strong x
