While there, Shazia Saddiq, a former sub-postmistresses, accused in 2016 of having a £40,000 shortfall at her PO, spoke to me. She said people "chucked flour and eggs" at her kids because they thought she was a thief - her family had to flee the area https://t.co/Or8h3LaUOr

I was at the Post Office inquiry yesterday, where Fujitsu's Europe chief Paul Patterson gave evidence. Among other things, he admitted that some Fujitsu data - used by the Post Office to prosecute sub-postmasters - "certainly wasn't gold standard" https://t.co/hvWMOubVWm

I was also at the inquiry last Thursday, when proceedings (which began in 2021) resumed with a new wave of interest - thanks to an ITV drama - and we heard from a former Post Office investigator. He insisted he never hounded any sub-postmasters he pursued https://t.co/HOsf1X3UOm
