Good morning. Off the the High Court Rolls Building to see Alan Bates, sacked by the Post Office in 2003, and who subsequently formed the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance. He's been waiting 15 years for his day in court. Today he's got it. #postofficetrial

Court 26 of the Rolls Building awaiting the start of the #postofficetrial with journalists from the FT, @ComputerWeekly @dailymail and the @CWUPostmaster. At least 8 claimants/former Subpostmasters present, including a widow of a SPMR who has brought her husband’s ashes.
#postofficetrial Ladies and Gentlemen, the trial of the century so far starts today. A Government owned entity and High St Institution stands accused of mistreating its subpostmasters. computerweekly.com/ezine/Com… postofficetrial.com/ Follow @nickwallis for live updates
Everybody should follow this trial #postofficetrial senior government figures should not have allowed this to happen. Heads will roll and ignorance can be no excuse.
Day 1 of Bates v @PostOffice at the High Court today. Follow tweets here, via the #postofficetrial hashtag and via regular reports on the blog PostOfficeTrial.com. Also expecting @ComputerWeekly's @Karlfl to be there today among other hacks

A new legal ruling “opens the door” for retailers to demand regular wages, pensions, holiday pay and other benefits from the Post Office - @JackCourtezRE finds out how bit.ly/2ytqd4D
Think it is a bit disingenuous of @PostOffice to launch a #community campaign when their NT program has closed so many branches in local communities and now open ‘white space’ branches to make up numbers threatening existing branches close by.

100% of SPMRs think that POL should educate the public so they realise that the SPMR owns the business not POL and will close if not used. xitter.cf/CABPost/status/9181342…
Public consultation on post office changes is important. In fact 90% of british adults think so... ow.ly/xWVC30fNQC0

just to be clear, as an independent business you are NOT authorised to represent me or my branch, just your members
@BBCNews they could start with your remuneration compared to what @PostOffice pay us.
Replying to @PostOffice
but only if we get a fair pay for the work!!!
Independent Postmasters are with you too @CWUnews #manageddecline #PeoplesPost

if you had any genuine concept of workers status you would understand the difference. But it is clear you don't.
