The Henry Staunton Sunday Times interview is a disgraceful misrepresentation of my conversation with him and the reasons for his dismissal. This was all explained to the journalist who chose to ignore the facts and run with Staunton’s words. Here are the facts:👇 (1/5)

Do you smell a cover-up? I asked the Govt when it "first became aware of the prosecutions being brought against sub-postmasters for alleged deficits" at the Post Office. The Minister obfuscates, refuses to answer. Any wonder corporate crime flourishes.
