Alan Bates turned down an OBE as Paula Vennells, the woman in charge of the Post Office through the Horizon Scandal, retains her CBE and refuses to give it back.
A man of honour 🙏🏼❤️

Alan, 69: “The first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the letter (offering me an OBE) was Paula Vennells still had a CBE. I felt so deeply insulted. She presided over a policy of harassing hundreds of innocent people. It’s not just that the Government hasn’t asked her to return it. What’s even worse is that despite knowing the strength of feeling about it, how people have suffered and some cases died on her watch – she doesn’t feel inclined to give it back.”
Alan accepted a @PrideOfBritain award in 2023.
We were over the moon to give that to him.
Not all heros wear capes 💜

MICHELLE MONE
🔹Mone uses OUR money to pay for a PR show. Why now?
🔹Well, this week there was a PRE-TRIAL hearing where govt is suing PPE Medpro for £130 million of OUR MONEY for unusable gowns.
🔹Her husband (also on fraud charges in Spain) pocketed £65 MILLION of OUR money.
🔹HER "trust" then received £29m of that cash
🔹It's all about keeping OUR money.
🔹Mone LIED for yrs & issued legal threats
🔹Mone feels she DESERVES our money "we've done nothing wrong"
🔹After deafening silence, Michael Gove now needs to admit his full role in this scandal

@AndrewRTDavies Andrew Bach....as a Welsh woman I have been vocal on both.
As you're Leader of the Tories In Wales what are YOUR views about the BBC chairman Richard Sharp and his £400k donations to Tory party and secret help with Johnson's dodgy £800k loan?
Why are you silent on THAT?
This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker#ImWithGary#MOTD#ToryFascists
'I couldn't visit Derek in hospital, he couldn't see his kids.'
@kategarraway questions @MattHancock on why he decided to go into the jungle and release a book before the Covid inquiry.
Whatever you are doing please watch this blistering masterclass in political interviewing as @susannareid100 uses facts, poise & stone cold brilliance to pin down a squirming @MattHancock on his pandemic law breaking 🔥
SUNAK AND HIS SHARES IN MODERNA?
I am not giving in on this.
Through his hedge fund Theleme which has invested £1 BILLION in Moderna he may hold large financial interest
SUNAK REFUSES TO ANSWER THE QUESTION
ANSWER IT & why aren't news shows asking him?
