Love an angry #hislop , he just does not give a shit. Inured to be being sued, leaves Fujitsu, the Tories, and Post Office management for dead. Jake Berry is a clown, why he thought he’d win in a battle of wits is beyond me. #peston

Watching the Post Office inquiry and there's an investigator called Stephen Bradshaw saying 'You were the only one' meant that the interviewee was the only one in that post office having problems and not the whole UK.

That's spin on a Conservative level.

#PostOfficeScandal

Stephen Bradshaw still works for the Post Office, in their security department. He's clearly incompetent, a bully, who didn't understand a thing about the technology that led to hundreds being falsely accused and imprisoned. It's compelling and appalling viewing.
