Post Office scandal: PM “strongly supports” withdrawing CBE from ex-Post Office boss

I'm sure She'll be heartbroken at having to hand back a useless award...🙄

Shes still rich and still free.

The removalmof the CBE is a meaningless action designed to placate the public whilst doing nothing to get justice.

If British people had any guts, she'd be worried for her safety, but she isn't.

We are weak

The laws only for the silent wealthy .The untouchables

People clearly above the law who still walk free

So what’s in it for Sunak the great? :) a few extra votes from the gullible who think he’s being a hero?

A convent distraction tactic for rishi wahi and the torys from the migrants problem everyone wants sorting ASAP Duck the tories

Whens he going to review his own government responsible for thousands of deaths due to contaminated blood they are still waiting whilst dying 1 every four days

Call me sceptical and I'm not sure this has been discussed at all but I think the PO had a vested interest in pursuing these so called losses, not only by boosting profits by chasing these imaginary losses (money going in to suspense accounts and then being used to boost profits) but also reducing costs by dismissing sub post masters they'd no longer have to pay their salaries? Were the PO doing this to reduce costs without having to break contracts/pay redundancy - shame on you!  how many sub post masters been removed from role with a double bubble , fake money losses recovered and no longer having to pay their wages - a very clever way of sacking staff?

why you are not going back to India and live us along tishi sunak

Blame government its they that are at fault they allow such actions they are corrupt as is any government agency what they dont want is the nation to follow their lead added to that is vulgar tory capitalist policies

Don’t be distracted by honours, the sub postmasters need their compensation immediately. Only then should honours be removed, people be investigated and jailed

It needs post office management, fujitsi management and ministers aware of this in jail.

He obviously wants to win the next election.

While you are ding this ,look in the mirror .lot of you are corrupt vile outcasts ,not wanted .go away

This is extremely disturbing. None of us are safe if this can happen, and only come to light because of one true hero and a TV drama.

The ease with which the state was mobilised against defenceless people should shock British citizens. If they did it to these folk what’s stopping another little Adolf from doing it to you? Scary

Bet my pension his tax dodging wife and the likes of Mogg, Farage and all the other tax dodgers are making money from Fujitsu who are STILL running the post office software. Refuse to admit to this day they are responsible for these innocent deaths and this corrupt Tory party still giving them billion pound contracts. Of course, their UK CEO donated thousands to the party. Tory party today disgusts me.

Sweeping it under the carpet for years

So what happened to their replacements. Did the cycle continue? If it did, then they must have realised there was a problem and fixed it. If not, the situation would have been perpetuated.

A bud bud ding ding going around trying to make him look tall the little big man

She shud go jail have to sell her house pay all her money to the victims not just her but who ever were involved and live in a one flat at least a million each mr not michelle

Haha 'withdraw cbe'?? People have gone to jail, lost houses and are dead. And they're talking about bout a cbe. 😮. What baout grenfell inquiry? Still no arrests.

This DISASTER is almost WORSE than the national lockdown ENFORCED BY THE JOHNSON GOVERNMENT that destroyed peoples livelihoods and our economy

Fujitsu are still getting huge government contracts when they should be blacklisted permanently.

This really happened ? in the UK ! ! no way ?!

I had a post office credit card after 12 months in having it I was charged a lot of interest. The lady on the phone told me saying Richard no no you charged a little but no interest withdrawal cash on your credit card. After than I notified the card company I Sean to pay more than I should have and another lady refunded the proceeds of the cash take from my account and returned the over payment of interest fees. When I closed my credit card down with the post office I received a letter that they waited another £234 to be paid so I went into a bank in Exeter a America lady said we charge for payment in this bank and she said that’s a lot of many they wait from you to close down your credit card and she recognised me as I use the old post office that was built in the 1975 in Bedford Street Exeter it’s a small world.

THE CONSERVATIVES AND LABOUR KNEW ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH FUJITSU AND THE POST OFFICE.. THEY WERE BOTH PARTY TO CORRUPTION AND CONDUCTING CRIMES UNDER BRITISH LAW, BRITISH LAW IS VERY CLEAR, TO FRAUDULENTLY DEPRIVE AN INDIVIDUAL, BUSINESS OR COMMUNITY OF MONIES WITH THE INTENT TO PERMANENTLY DEPRIVE SAID , IS COVERED UNDER THE THEFT ACT... SCOTLAND YARD SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CALLED IN, THIS ADDS TO THE CORRUPTION HERE....
ACCOUNTABILITY BREAKS DOWN WHEN A SELF POLICING COMPANY COMMITS CRIMES CLEARLY EXPOSED... THE COUNTRY NEEDS TO FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO GET THIS SORTED... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH....
POST OFFICE COUNTERS LTD HAS BEEN SELF SERVING ITS INVESTORS... OVER YEARS OF MONOPOLISING A SYSTEM OF CASH MOVEMENT AND THE MULTI BILLION GIRO SYSTEM.
AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE INSTIGATED INTO THE MASSIVE PROFITS AND HOW THEY WERE GAINED...
IT MAY WELL BE TIME TO STRIP THE POST OFFICE OF ITS SELF GOVERNMENT.. NOW !!!

If it takes Toby Jones' acting to find impetus towards equitable justice how many more cases can he portray whilst he's still alive as I've no doubt there could be some serious billable hours here, potentially enough to make law firms jealous - although no doubt some will be greedily eyeing the opportunity to bill for advice on Horizon and any other scandals that ought be brought forward for the aforementioned equitable justice which has been so often denied.

EVERY bonus given during this scandal should be taken from these privileged failures. What is it with these elite tw@ts in industry who think it's ok to reward abject failure and appalling management with gongs and bonuses. It boils my pi55.

Sir Keir Starmer needs to explain why he did not intervene in the Horizon Post Office scandal when director of public prosecutions.

Sir Keir, held the position between 2008 and 2013 before moving into politics.

His time in the role overlapped part of the period in which Post Office branch managers were convicted because of the Horizon computer system showing that money was missing.

Isn’t she still on boards and committees?

What kind of justice system does the UK have? Every judge, every prosecutor, and every IT "expert" who played a role in the post submasters' convictions should be forced to contribute to the funds paid to the victims of their dereliction.

Pathetic posturing by sunak. He has seen a moving bandwagon that has a lot of public support and so is trying to look like he is trying to do something. Typical tory opportunism to try and cling to power. Just like the VIP lane was for stuffing money in their friends pockets while others suffer. The sooner he is evicted from power the better.

,will the disgraced post office chief also be stepping down from church duties as she’s a proven liar and despicable allowing good people to commit the utmost sacrifice just so she can continue as if nothing was wrong .
She needs nail tile too not handing back rewards… she has ZERO shame she’s diss custin

Fair play he cannot solve this super quick, but he must bend rules to move much faster than the rules normally allow.
May I suggest a 1 million pound payout to everyone under the simple condition that you can continue to pursue your justice how you see fit and govt will help to move things quickly, and if your final settlement is less you pay nothing back, if you final settlement more is more you get a top up.

Don't vote for sunak or his party they are vile people

She got a title and Ed Davey got a knighthood proves total incompetence is all you need to get one.....hilarious the bullshit........

He should be stripped of his title

Good I hope for them 800 men and woman they get there money and their convictions go

what a wonderful man

Weak on the strong
Tough on the weak
Classic conservative values

What does Sunak mean :"the money's been set aside'??
So, it's a pre judged done deal, then ¿`?

Tories were in power - corruption at the highest levels

Anything to get the spotlight of him and his party

Pathetic. Obviously an Election not faraway!

I think the institutionalised racism that has been rampant within the Post Office far longer should also be addressed....... it´s a diabolical sham of a corporation. It´s been run by an entitled elite of executives with no accountability and complete immunity from the persecution, prosecution and suffering they imposed on innocent, hard working people! They need a taste of their own medicine!!! Compensation for the sub-postmasters should be paid from their own pockets!

Why did it take an ITV drama to force the Government to take action? Absolutely shocking! Private Eye have been reporting on this for 12 + years. How will they compensate those who took their own lives or have died since? It’s also time to stop saying the Post Office and say the UK government because that’s who are to blame.

The one who really merits the CBE is no doubt Alan Bates who spent two decades fighting injustice, probably more time than Rishi Surnak spent in politics.

Remember The coalition privatised the Royal Mail😮Shame on them.
