Wednesday, 17 January 2024 Kemi Badenoch, the business secretary, is seeking urgent talks with Fujitsu to thrash out a compensation package for sub-postmasters affected by the Post Office Horizon scandal.
Chancellor Jeremy Huny says it "appears there's an enormous cover-up" as the official inquiry into the Post Office Horizon scandal continues, adding he will go after "as much money as [he] can" from tech giant Fujitsu.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer responded saying, "the number one job of this government was to put the finances back in order after the last government lost control". Report by Brooksl.
