Alan Bates speaks out after Post Office Inquiry

Former sub-postmaster Alan Bates said that "they just have to get on with it and get people paid", as he spoke out after giving evidence at the Post Office inquiry.

Mr Bates was asked if he believes there will be any criminal prosecutions as a result of the scandal.

"I think we will see some.

Whether it's undertaken by the authorities themselves, or whether we as a group have to bring some if the authorities fail us once again - we'll have to wait and see," he added.

Starmer channels Blair & Miliband to launch election pledges

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled a pledge card with six "first steps" the Labour Party would take if it were to form a government after the next general election. The steps include measures to invest in the NHS, education and policing, to set up a new national energy company and an elite border force, and to promote economic stability. The move, unveiled during a campaign speech in Essex, is reminiscent of Tony Blairā€™s five pledges ahead of Labourā€™s landslide victory in 1997, and less favourably of Ed Milibandā€™s promises carved into stone in 2015.
