Cloying managerialese is about right.

Direct accusation that she knew about Gareth Jenkins' alleged perjury.

That's a big one ..... judge and jury should have the chance to decide if that's true.

I dunno. I feel that the fact he has been warned about 3 times now, she's using to her advantage

Have they managed to get Susan out from under the bus now ?

Show quote history

No, she's wedged in there with everyone else.

Its a good tactic though, we all need a Susan. It's a bit like a kid and their imaginary friend whose fault all misdemeanours were.

stronglatte · 24/05/2024 10:53

Can't believe they just shared a document which confirmed this should have all been overturned dated over 12 years ago which she had seen

Quirkyme · 24/05/2024 10:53

@grumpygrape

She's back on the chair outside

I'm almost impressed by how she is manoeuvring him, horrible woman.

There are a number of barristers representing different groups of subpostmasters JadeSeahorse. Also, there are also barristers who will ask questions who represent other groups who are not subpostmasters.

"I'm sorry we haven't got more time to go through that as i read it this morning"

She's cunning!

How can you be "fairly clear in your recall of this" when you claim not to recall many things.

What an embarrassment

It's all Susan's fault etc.

JadeSeahorse · 24/05/2024 10:50

Sorry, joined late.

Is Mr Henry the barrister representing the sub postmasters/mistresses or does he come later?

Loving seeing Jo - can't recall her surname but she is the lovely ex postmistress who was convicted by this debacle and lost everything 😥 -
Sitting at the front giving PV the dead eye.

DanielGault · 24/05/2024 10:49

She's fairly clear in her recall for once
