I think Vennells in the dock would be the catalyst for the BEIS and UKGI interfaces being named and what they knew and instructed - then them in the dock - could define what ministers did .. which is why she isnt IMO

- and to be clear - as I have been before - despite war being a horror I think the war against Saddam was necessary even if some of the touted reasons were highly questionable (there were enough real reasons) and the corrupt and damaging aftermath was wrong in almost all ways. Syria was another matter.

I've yet to see any evidence that davey should go to jail - at least before every PO minister since. Anyone want to present some? Like certain people dissing Blair for Iraq - when the finger at the source of the disinformation he and America used is pointed quite squarely at Netanyahu, and that is him specifically NOT mossad as Netanyahu (allegedly) tried to fire up a western assault on Iraq, Iran and Syria - and largely succeeded.

add to the ongoing genocide (not used lightly) reported on most news channels of Israels actions in Gaza, there have been well over 400 murders of Palestinians in the west bank by illegal Israeli settlers; with the active support of Israels IDF; clearing Palestinians out of their homes so as Israelis can illegally settle on the land Most of us have looked the other way for years over Israels abuses and murders, but this is Genocide, war crimes, International crimes, murder of children and women by the thousands, and gross inhumanity Seems clear to me that what Israel has eradicated is any 'right to sympathy or consideration coming from the monstrous atrocities of the holocaust. They should now and forever more be judged solely on their actions - as a rogue state and as a state performing mass murder including thousands of children, forced civilian displacement, starvation as a weapon of war - genocide.

Lets also not forget that 3 YEARS ago, on top of all the prior years of delay, obfuscation and avoidance .. The government will not extend the remit of its inquiry into the sub-postmasters scandal. "Business Minister Paul Scully rejected such calls saying it is important the inquiry reaches a swift conclusion. He believes the current inquiry will deliver that more rapidly than would starting a new statutory inquiry." Post Office scandal: Government rejects call to extend inquiry WWW.BBC.CO.UK Labour calls to widen remit of inquiry rebuffed by in interests of swift conclusion.

Big issue is the way the crims poopish have created and managed the 'enquiry' (sic certainly not an Inquiry) - not statutory, Vennells et al no requirement to answer owt or even attend ... innit? - let alone the UKGI 'interface PO board <-> Guv and they left Vennels et al largely in place until forced out by public opinion - who the heck leaves the causes in place to correct - well apart from other crims? (see also Cressida Dick)

We need to always remember that 1. The PO and Fujitsu knew of issues with the software causing shortfalls since 1999 - and their representatives lied and/or were instructed to say things which simply were known to be false in court during SPM prosecutions and to SPMs before those prosecutions 2. The post office not only knew that fujitsu had secret (seemingly entirely un-logged) remote access - and at some stages had a room full of people secretly (from SPMs) amending SPM accounts since 2014 - and they also LIED IN COURT ABOUT IT Prosecutions will hopefully start soon - once we get the criminals trying to hinder justice out of power

The issue is the changes and complexity of the interface to the PO board - especially the guvs 'shareholder'. but all that aside, Vennells and the project sparrow board members MUST have known and evidence seems to be clearly saying they did - whether they claim to have not heard it/not read it/forgotton/whatever - it was their business and duty to know - and be responsible unlessd they were clearly INSTRUCTED otherwise - and those redacted minutes need to be unredacted.

too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

Isnt there some indication in there of at least intent to inform arbuthnot? IF he wasn't then it would seem to be Vennells decision to keep him 'uninformed .. Although seems to me if arbuthnot was unaware - he was either incompetent or should have very detailed records of denials. Seems vennells is constantly at the core of all the lying about all these issues though.

i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.

Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)

Thats an interesting perspective, particularly re Gray. It will be interesting to see the poops whining about Starmer using the powers they forced through intended for themselves
