#PostOfficeScandal Latest by @taaffems for @SkyNews
A Scandal within a scandal. How many times have we heard that before with this @PostOffice scandal? The @DWP prosecutions showed the exact same patterns as the Post Office ones, investigators didn’t properly investigate, they had confirmation bias and refused to look at all possibilities including evidence that pointed away from the suspects.
The continuous delay in appointing a reviewer is unexcusable. It seems a deliberate attempt to delay justice being delivered for a large number of victims. We have already sadly lost so many along the way and we could lose more whilst these delays continue. Even after a reviewer is announced the review will likely take many months and we must push for the terms of reference to be expanded as right now they are wholly inadequate

Another former sub postmaster dies awaiting payout.
Wrongfully convicted, but no full compensation.
Fujitsu hasn't paid anything.
Injustice everywhere - Grenfell fire, Infected blood, HBOS frauds, insolvency frauds ...
Govts protect big business.

#PostOfficeScandal#Mandelson#MandelsonEpstein#Epstein#RoyalMail
The Epstein Files just revealed something explosive about how UK State Assets were sold.
On June 13, 2009, Business Secretary Peter Mandelson forwarded a confidential Government memo to Jeffrey Epstein listing £20 BILLION in State Assets the Labour Goverment planned to sell. Including Royal Mail—for which Private Equity firm CVC had just bid £2 Billion for a 30% stake.
Let that sink in: While Parliament debated Royal Mail's future in June 2009, while Unions prepared to strike, while Labour MPs revolted, Mandelson was feeding Britain's privatisation playbook to a convicted sex trafficker with direct lines to JPMorgan and Wall Street's biggest Private Equity firms and Hedge Funds.
This is how modern corruption works.
No briefcases or brown paper bags stuffed with cash. No crude traceable bribes.
Just Panamanian Shell Companies, Dinner parties with Royals and Academics, yacht trips, young girls and boys, "Advisory Roles," and confidential Government memos forwarded to financiers who trade on information asymmetry.
The insiders know. The public pay.
This leaking of State secrets wasn't a one-off error of judgement by Mandelson.
👉August 2009: Mandelson sends Epstein another confidential memo warning about Trillions in Bank refinancing debt
👉December 2009: He advises JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to "mildly threaten" the Chancellor over a proposed Banker Bonus tax
January 2010: JPMorgan's Jes Staley emails Epstein about acquiring RBS Assets—right after meeting Mandelson in Davos.
The Royal Mail deal collapsed in July 2009. Official reason? "Market conditions."
Real reason? Private Equity firm CVC Capital's £2 Billion offer was too low, Brussels threatened to challenge the Pension Liability write off , and Labour backbenchers made passage impossible.
When Royal Mail was finally floated in 2013, it was widely criticised as undervalued and a "fire sale"—costing taxpayers hundreds of Millions.
Advising the Goverment on this State Asset Sale and many others - Lazard Bank who Mandelson joined in 2011 as a 'Special Adviser' and went on to become Chair of their International arm.
The questions that should haunt us:
⚖️How many other deals were shaped by this 'shadow system'?
⚖️How many Government memos reached Epstein's inbox—and from there to Wall Street trading desks?
⚖️How many Billions in public value were sacrificed because insiders knew what outsiders could only guess?
EVERY STATE ASSET SALE FROM THIS PERIOD MUST BE REVIEWED starting with RBS Sempra.
Britain's democracy requires sunlight.
What the Epstein files reveal is that for years, the most important economic decisions were made in the dark—by those who viewed Public Office as opportunity for private profit.
The British public deserves to know who really governs their country. And in whose interest.

@stugoo17@DWPgovuk@premnsikka Disgusting, my Dad died without justice, how many more will? Clearly they are waiting for them all to pass hoping we will all forgot or give up the fight.
#PostOffficeScandal#DWP
🚨@DWPgovuk has done virtually NOTHING on its review of 108 SubPostmaster prosecutions — over a year after promising one.
No Independent Reviewer appointed. No Victims contacted. No Statement to Parliament.
@premnsikka : "After nearly a year, nothing has been heard. The Minister even "defended the DWP prosecutions" — claiming they had nothing to do with Horizon. But couldn't explain what accounting records were used instead.
Lord Arbuthnot: "Unless they look at individual cases, the review will be pointless."
If you're affected, write to Andrew Western MP, Minister for Transformation, Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, SW1H 9NA.
Justice delayed is justice denied. YET AGAIN !!

#PostOfficeScandal I would like to thank @premnsikka for hosting the event in @HouseofCommons@UKParliament last night for Postmasters & their families to be heard.
I would also like to thank all those who attended both as victims and as support to those victims, it was a brilliant turnout. To thank peers Lord Arbuthnot, Lord Beamish & Lord Taylor for their speeches and my own MP @KateOsborneMP for her incredible support and speech for those responsible to be held to account. None of us will rest until justice has been delivered to everyone.
And most importantly I would like to thank and pay tribute to those who had the encourage to speak and share very personal stories, it was extremely powerful @Janetsk20073533@SarahFreebury Katie Hood @VarchasPatel and all the other contributors.

@mkiceburnmarko@roonaghferry@SkyNewsAdele@PostOffInquiry Your words “covered” by the enquiry, meaning looked into, investigated or full disclosure from the DWP etc on their prosecutions. Not merely mentioned as that’s a given with their joint working. What I think people don’t realise is DWP prosecuted postmasters/staff along with PO
@PaulGr1969@SkyNewsAdele So glad our interview stirred something in you! She could interview me barefoot for all I care, she is an amazing reporter and we wouldn’t be where we are without her!
