@TomWitherow @TomWitherow Hallo, please find the unroll here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1782695… Have a good day. 🤖
1/4 CEO reports from Paula Vennells to the Post Office Board of 2013 are finally disclosed via FOI. They show the schmoozing of MPs:
Off on leave after living out one of the happiest days of my life at the #LondonMarathon2024 . Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the last six months and to the very special friends and family who cheered me on yesterday. (1/2)
#PostOfficeScandal🔥There it is in black and white the High Court Case GLO was an outright war. The @PostOffice strategy under the 'likely' guidance of @biztradegovuk was to "try force the Claimants into a collective where they will either abandon the claims or seek a reasonable…
It's @RuthDavidsonPC's last day @TimesRadio - a truly sad day for the the gayest show in news broadcasting. It's been a blast - I'll never forget getting Theresa May to say she's woke, or losing my mind when Chelsea Manning got lost on her way to the interview tent @LatitudeFest
The BBC's watering down of Newsnight is incomprehensible. This was the Observer editorial view on it from last December. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
🚨personal news🚨I’ll be leaving the BBC at the end of May. Newsnight in its current format will end then, so most posts will go. I decided not to apply for other BBC jobs. Working there for 35 yrs has been life defining: an eyewitness to history collaborating with such brilliant…
I know I am followed by some journalists. Could one of you please ask the police why they are investigating an electoral offence regarding registration ten years ago given the terms of s 176 of the Representation of the People Act 1983? Will stop me shouting at telly. Thanks!
Beautiful poem on dogs in this week’s @spectator
@TomWitherow According to minutes of 25.9.13 the Board requested a noting paper regarding PO’s notification to its underwriters regarding ‘Horizon work’. So either there was a paper trail or the Board itself was also persuaded it shouldn’t exist. The question is whether the trail reached BIS:
Oh Lord, sorry. Mrs Wallis pointed them out to me I am going back in with a screwdriver now. Apologies
I hope @nickwallis recovers from his break quickly. In the meantime, I hope I am allowed to enjoy some of the transcription errors which are inherent to dictation software, such as the renaming of AVDB 👇 #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal
Here are the briefing notes Ed Davey was given by civil servants. They advised that the meeting was set up "for presentational reason" due to an upcoming Channel 4 news item. It also said he should not commit to an independent investigation of Horizon.
Bates is being asked about his letters with Sir Ed Davey - start from 12.45pm below. Inquiry is also being shown their contents. In July 2010 AB wrote: “You have allowed a once great institution to be asset stripped by little more than thugs in suits.” youtube.com/watch?v=KbOa77…
@TomWitherow What a shocking story. It's hard to believe people and institutions we trusted can be so heartless; so morally bankrupt, even now, after they have been outed. Mrs Sivasubramaniam, you have been through hell, but keep strong and keep pushing 🙏
@TomWitherow I offer my wholehearted moral support to Mrs Sivasubramaniam in such outrageous and tragic curcumstances.
@TomWitherow What happened to this man is a disgrace and the Post Office's behaviour is beyond my comprehension.
@TomWitherow Putting this in to perspective the total spend by POL on disclosure costs with external legal contractors to a statutory inquiry which it is apparently cooperating with from 1 January 2022 to 31 July 2023 was £24.4m. Priorities are all wrong here.
Of all the stories we’ve heard in this scandal, this is perhaps the most brutal. Who can imagine what this lady has been through & how she fights on, against such a merciless enemy, day in day out? Thanks @TomWitherow for bringing her story into the open: thetimes.co.uk/article/widow-…
