A senior Conservative MP who questioned Paula Vennells and the Post Office in 2015 on the Horizon IT Scandal says the organisation has a "case to answer for corporate manslaughter" and "criminal wrongdoing".

After hearing a secret recording obtained by ITV News, Nadhim Zahawi said the former Post Office boss and her team “were not telling the truth” when they gave evidence to the House of Commons Business and Skills Committee nine years ago.

    Doors need kicking in and arrests need to be made URGENTLY.
  • @roddersfiftynine
    "can we keep the language not emotional" says all you need to know about the heartless people behind this travesty of justice !! Shame on her !
  • Post Office management should be held accountable rather tomorrow than next week.
  • @kimcallaghan753
    Why does it take TV shows to cajole the police into investigating? It's like they're being embarrassed into doing their job when they can't avoid it any more.

    Telling him off for "emotional" language? They destroyed the lives of so many people.
  • @njd2342
    British justice is as slow as a Post Office delivered letter.

    Belinda Cortes-Martin "Can we keep the language not emotional..." Staggering words of an almost pompous & uncaring level...
  • @Pikestnt
    We need to stop waiting for the enquiry. The police should investigate now. Theres simply too much evidence of wrong doing to wait another few years for a report. We have a police force and courts for these situations.

    Paula Vennells, Anglican priest and past ethical investment advisor to the church of England. Once touted for the post of Bishop of London. So much for values....
  • @joffey1212
    How on earth is vennels and her mob not locked up ? A disgrace
  • @StuartMiles74
    Belinda Cortes-Martin also needs to be arrested for fraud.
  • @s.j.bluewater908
    Belinda Cortes-Martin must be tried, and I hope she’s not emotional.
  • @kingayman5225
    “Can we keep out emotions” shows you exactly how things like this happen.
  • @sbeasley1785
    How many more cases of outright official corruption that nobody answers for will I learn of during my life? …I am now 65 years old and have watched the cases roll on by time after time with nobody brought to account for the evil they have been knowingly responsible for.

    can we remove emotional language....amoral sociopath talking there....

    These top executives of the Post Office continually express sorrow for what has happened. Folks, you've all got it wrong. They're expressing sorrow for being caught, for their plans being undone, and for having to be dragged into a public enquiry. For ten years or more, they expressed no remorse or regret for the hundreds of innocent people having their lives trashed. After all, these poor people having their lives trashed were little people, who were potentially in the way of the Post Office's grand plans.
