Children in Gaza don't need a pause in the killing, they need it to stop. That is why there must be an immediate ceasefire. This is not a radical proposition. It's backed by the UN, countries around the world, and by the majority of the public. Be on the right side of history.

We are looking for the views of about 50 more qualitative management scholars on the principles and practices of "open research" - can you help us before the New Year? bit.ly/47FWelH

Looking forward to this shocking story getting out to a wider audience. Our ongoing research on the #PostOfficeScandal aims to help explain how this injustice could persist for so long.

Another managerial takeaway from #MrBatesvsPostOffice & the #PostOfficeScadal is just because an IT system is working well for most people most of the time, you cannot assume it is working perfectly for everyone all of the time.

From an organisational standpoint, I would add to this to give workers greater access to their own data. From what I understand sub-postmasters could not check their own accounts to the transaction level in the Horizon system, meaning they couldn't defend themselves.

Thank you James Hanson for having me on Times Radio to discuss the #PostOfficeScandal - from 41:35 It's really hard to understand how it took PO leadership over a decade to ask the basic question of #Horizon "Is it possible to access the system remotely?" thetimes.co.uk/radio/show/202…

Breaking: Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has handed back her CBE. Comes after Sunak called for her to be stripped of the honour and a petition reached 1.2 million signatures.

Important point when writing about Horizon scandal: There are 4,000+ victims - not 'hundreds': ** 983 overturned convictions ** 2,750 HSS (lost money, weren't prosecuted) ** c. 500 more in #MrBatesVsThePostOffice group (exc OC) ** 100+ more came forward post-ITV. Total = 4,333

The Post Office's compensation scheme is designed to minimise payouts. One postmaster received £15.75. That isn't a typo. I count nine ways the Post Office's HSS compensation scheme is rigged:

Excellent analysis of the #PostOffceScandal and its connection to other cases of "the abuse of unaccountable power" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Glad to play a small role in helping the #PostOffceScandal story reach an even wider international audience through The World - thanks for having me and more importantly elevating the victims' stories theworld.org/media/2024-01-…
