It will just be the 'pot plant' excuse all over again

it wasn't meeeeeeeeeee

Oh my goodness.
What are we doing to these poor people.

What I fail to understand is why delaying compensation is being seen as helping their cause.

Surely compensating the sun postmasters and mistresses quickly and fairly is more of a vote winner?

Fiddling the books?

They know the payments are owing but due to the sheer scale of numbers impacted they need to keep it off the books for now.

But yes they'd get far more credit for a swift response - albeit the time for a swift resolution has long since passed.

Badenoch is arguing about it on twitter, she could ofcourse just release the paperwork if Staunton is lying or if not just get on with compensation.

Something dodgy strange going on here

Badenoch thinks he has misinterpreted the Government's position.

The boy who cried wolf - a Government that has a history of immoral behaviour should not be surprised when people believe they are acting immorally

Keir Starmer is at the Munich Security Conference meeting with various Presidents and PM's

I don't know if Sunak or one of his representatives is attending.

Meanwhile. the Tories and their support for women

UK charities warn of ‘devastating’ council cuts to women’s services | Violence against women and girls | The Guardian

Well at least the evil trans women won't be able to invade those services. That will please the extreme GC lot. Won't it?

Have just read Badenoch's Twitter response. I think she may live to regret doing that.

Hmmm....a wee bit touchy methinks. Hit a nerve...

The facts are that if ITV hadn't made it into a tv drama, this scandal would still be swept under the carpet.

The obsessed GC lot won't care. As long as they can tell us that "Kemi is doing something" and Labour "don't know what a woman is".

Like -checks notes - pelvic mesh, contaminated blood maternity scandals, sodium valproate, etc etc .

It's more "Kemi is muttering something" than doing

"Kemi is mulling it over". Apparently.

In between working on being the next Tory leader, of course.

Kemi Badenoch, then Trade Secretary, failed to raise PO/Horizon scandal when she met Fujitsu at Davos in 2023. FoI request shows minister was warned by civil servants of ‘risk’ but focused instead on tech firm’s investment in UK.

Mulling, that's the word I was thinking of. I started with mumbling but knew it wasn't right so changed it to muttering

Very true.

Cameron and Shapps are there along with a couple from the shadow cabinet and other MP’s.

In fairness Rishi doesn’t really need to go. Bet he’s gutted.

"Misinterpreted"? Oh, of course, that'll be it.😂😂😂

Was it this thread where we were discussing the human tragedies likely to end up being linked to lack of funding in public services? I've got a horrible feeling this child death situation in Bristol is going to turn out to be another one. A&S police have referred themselves to the IPCC and the youngest victim was 7 months old :(

Traditionally the assumption always was that a low turnout favoured the Tories, on the basis that Labour voters didn't have cars or even warm coats and therefore wouldn't go out to vote in bad weather.

The truth is that there are all sorts of motivations. On any showing, the fact that staunch Tories don't want to vote Tory is very telling.

Talking about boats and Rwanda he actually gave Trevor Phillips a guarantee planes would take off...

They'll no doubt take off. Whether there will be a single immigrant on them is a whole other matter.
