Big thank you to postmaster Richard Hawkes & Prof @RichardMoorhead on this week's Post Office podcast - we talk perversion of the course of justice, potential racial disparities in postmaster treatment, & the role of lawyers/implications for the profession postofficescandal.uk/post/podcast-e…

This week at the Post Office inquiry - the last week of phase 2 packed in the witnesses, from secretaries of state to union leaders. The common theme was no-one was checking that the tech worked for postmasters. audioboom.com/posts/8206750-… Nick Wallis

It's not online but Hugo Daniel and I have a story on bankrupt postmasters being offered half their interim compensation in today's Sunday Times. Big thank you Deirdre Connolly


Our podcast this week - bankrupt postmasters are having huge chunks of payouts taken to pay debtors, others are being offered far less than they should be, and some have waited years for nothing so far. Nick Wallis audioboom.com/posts/8211156-…

“Thugs in suits” “rotten to the core” “living in the 18th century” - reaction to Post Office use of racist terms to describe postmasters: “The very people who oversaw this rotten culture are not being held to account… there’s got to be a day of reckoning.” With Rebecca Thomson
