Henry Staunton stands by his allegations against the government and turns on Post Office CEO in dramatic day of evidence to MPs
The former chair of the Post Office has claimed he was the victim of a ‘smear campaign’ led by the business secretary, Kemi Badenoch, and turned on his chief executive in a dramatic day of evidence to a parliamentary committee.
Henry Staunton, who was removed from his post in January, defiantly stood by allegations that the government had sought to slow down compensation payments to the victims of the Horizon scandal, and suggested he had been removed for fighting for them.
