The Post Office's compensation scheme is designed to minimise payouts. One postmaster received £15.75.
That isn't a typo.
I count nine ways the Post Office's HSS compensation scheme is rigged:

Important point when writing about Horizon scandal:
There are 4,000+ victims - not 'hundreds':
** 983 overturned convictions
** 2,750 HSS (lost money, weren't prosecuted)
** c. 500 more in #MrBatesVsThePostOffice group (exc OC)
** 100+ more came forward post-ITV.
Total = 4,333
The media continues to use the word “ hundreds “ when referring to victims of the post office scandal . There are 1000s, that are ruined . Please share . 2800 in my scheme alone @carolvorders @TomWitherow @nickwallis
This is way bigger

Breaking: Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has handed back her CBE.
Comes after Sunak called for her to be stripped of the honour and a petition reached 1.2 million signatures.

Children in Gaza don't need a pause in the killing, they need it to stop. That is why there must be an immediate ceasefire.
This is not a radical proposition. It's backed by the UN, countries around the world, and by the majority of the public.
Be on the right side of history.

Please can all politicians stop talking about the PM having a lot of fight in him. I wish him well. But as one who has had cancer I can tell you this suggestion that disease respects those with “fight” is deeply offensive. It implies that those who lose are somehow to blame.

Let down by politicians.
Let down by judges.
Forced to choose between protecting themselves and their right to vote.
They have come, wearing masks and their faith in democracy, to cast ballots in a Wisconsin election that should have been postponed.
