Postmasters fought for decades to bring to light the shocking truth of the Horizon scandal. I was pleased to meet some of these tireless campaigners today in Parliament. We will right the wrongs of the past and ensure victims get the justice and redress they deserve.



It's clear that @hmtreasury NEVER intended the #LoanCharge review to be independent from the start and, as @loanchargeAPPG reported, it was made clear before it started by HMT "We do need to make a fist of restricting the scope of any review" As confirmed by #HMRC there has so far been: 10 Suicides 13 Attempted Suicides 24 Serious Injuries As APPROVED in the @HouseofCommons #LoanCharge motion on 18th January: "...believes that the Morse Review was limited and not genuinely independent of HM Treasury and HMRC" Someone needs to be held ACCOUNTABLE for the loss of life - just as in the #PostOfficeScandal And the longer that Ministers dither, the more risk of more DEATHS @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt @hmtreasury @CommonsTreasury @LordsEconCom @HuddlestonNigel @loanchargeAPPG @10DowningStreet @Imran_HussainMP @imranahmadkhan @Independent @inglesi @IoWBobSeely @IR35Protect @IsabelHardman @IsabelOakeshott @justcontracting @ITV @PaulBrandITV @itvtynetees @itvwestcountry @J_Donaldson_MP @Jack_Blanchard_ @jackwdoyle #LoanChargeScandal

Working as a qualified lawyer, it's something you've always wanted. But recently you're not really feeling it. Deadlines, billing pressures, client demands, long hours… surely there's more to life than this? Read our thoughts… carbonlawpartners.com/2022/07/05/ret…
