Just finished reading Post Mortem which is a must read. A first class account of the Post Office Horizon scandal by @rbrooks45. I really didn't fully understand the extent of this disgraceful episode till I read this book. private-eye.co.uk/books/post-mor…

More Tees… yet another major porkie exposed, as the taxpayer coughs up for a £113m quay that Lord Houchen said local businessmen (making £100ms from land deals it brings) were paying for. Full story in current @PrivateEyeNews

#PostOfficeScandal @rbrooks45 No summary of this national scandal can ever be a comfortable read but "Post Mortem" from Richard Brooks is a very readable and balanced account up to and including the public enquiry.

In current @PrivateEyeNews, In the Money looks at - the fugitives, sanction-dodgers and, er, British patriots calling Dubai home; Abramovich and the UK’s faltering efforts to seize dodgy money; and (then) Prince Andrew’s equerry’s no-show for a top job at royal bankers Coutts.
