@BBCBreakfast This is so sad. I interviewed Parmod several times over the last few years. An incredibly dignified, decent, and lovely man.

Another former sub postmaster has died, still waiting for compensation for being wrongly convicted in the Post Office scandal. Parmod Kalia had his conviction overturned in 2021, 20 years after being sentenced to six months in jail after being falsely accused of stealing £22,000 bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c9…

@BBCDouglasF Wow, big news Douglas. You will be sorely missed. Wishing you the very best of luck.

Some personal news…

Anyone else on this flight? Please be careful. Almost been tricked by what appears to be a scam site @flynors_TeamS offering support. Looked convincing, esp if you are in a complete flap! @flynorse

Aargh. We are at the departure gate, checked in and bags taken, ready for a sunshine break. But @flynorse has just cancelled flight. Plane never left Orlando, staff say. Supposedly leaving tomorrow with AirTanker plane instead. Very strange and disappointing. @Mattallwright

@09EA63 @flynorse @Mattallwright Best of luck!

@BBCEmmaSimpson @flynorse @Mattallwright Oh no - we are flying with them 5 weeks today!!!
