"It's disgusting, two decades on, we're finding new documents," says wrongly-convicted former subpostmaster Lee Castleton. He spoke out after Channel 4 News obtained a secret 2006 contract between the Post Office and Fujitsu which, despite decades of denial, shows the organisations were able to centrally alter subpostmaster accounts. The Post Office said it apologises "unequivocally for the hurt and suffering" it caused "during the Horizon IT Scandal", while Fujitsu said it would not be "appropriate" for it to comment while the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry was ongoing.

#PostOfficeScandal Last night former Postmistress who was sent to prison while pregnant Seema Misra OBE spoke on Sky News with Sarah-Jane Mee She rightly reminded people that although it is wonderful news that Sir Alan has now reached a settlement after a review & award by retired Judge Sir Ross Cranston, many people like her are still waiting for full redress. Remember that historic day outside the Court of Appeal in 2021? The 3 who fought ground 2, Seema, Janet and Tracy which helped turn the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry on to a statutory footing and led the way in UK Parliament legislation from UK House of Commons to overturn hundreds of convictions. Please stand behind and keep supporting Postmasters and Postmistresses until everyone has been paid what they are owed 👇
