Rishi Sunak refuses to endorse Kemi Badenoch in Post Office compensation row
Would the Prime Minister be prepared personally to repeat the allegation made by his business secretary that the former chair of the post office is lying when he says he was told to go slow on compensation for postmasters and Limp to the next election the business secretary also confirmed categorically that the
Pro that the post office was and I I’ll quote this In fairness to the Prime Minister uh at no point to to delay compensation payments by either an official or a minister from any government department and at no point was it suggested that a delay would be
Of benefit to the treasury so that’s Monday a note released by the former post office chair this morning appears appears to directly contradict that will he commit to investigating this matter properly including whether that categorical statement was correct and why rather than taking those accusations seriously she accused a whistleblower of lying Minister Mr Speaker it is worth bearing in mind that as the business secretary said on Monday she asked Henry ston to step down after serious concerns were raised this week we also learned that a 2016 investigation into whether post office branch accounts could be altered with was suddenly stopped before it was

We did the right thing which was to set up an independent statutory inquiry it would that is the right way to resolve this is it’s the right way to get victims the truth and the answers that they demand but this government is getting on get getting them the compensation that they rightly deserve
The prime minister has not endorsed the claim by the business secretary, Kemi Badenoch, that ex-Post Office chair Henry Staunton was lying when he said he was told to go slow on paying compensation.
Sunak said the government had taken unprecedented steps to make sure victims got compensation and resisted Starmer’s call for an investigation into the row between Badenoch and Staunton over Horizon payout instructions

It’s so beautifully poetic that a British Indian Prime Minister will absolutely sink the Tory Party.
Fascinating time for UK politics and conservatives.
Another Tory minister caught telling pork pies
Rushi criminal INDIAN
Will Sunak ever find a spine?
Oh dear! Look at the long faces on the government front bench! Again , more distortion of the government failures!
Look at nodding dog Gillian Keegan sitting behind him.
She did not know about the £32 Million spent on refurb of her offices even though she signed it off.
"I was on another floor at the time"
Lies, lies, and more lies, corruption, corruption, corruption is all they stand for.
Who is the dude with the floral shirt, or is it a dude?
More rubbish from Starmer…
Sunak may actually be about to take a stand against a right-winger in his own government! Quick, someone take a picture!
As soon as you see a Tory minister talking you know their lying.
You're on your own Kemi. 😂😂😂
Let’s just see how the compensation goes from now on. Perhaps the govmt go slow until after the next election. Will now backfire. It also shows how the Tories are prepared to corrupt normal business to get back at labour. This is disgraceful in these circumsta
can someone please ask Ritchy about the seemingly somewhat bizarre relationship between INFOSYS, Unit 8200, Israeli Intelligence, Elbit Systems, & the running of the uk’s information infrastructure ? seeing as Sir Keith Steamer is a proud member of the Trilateral Commission, he’s highly unlikely to be the one to do it. ta.
She always misleads
Pants on fire stuff
Tories have been caught out again. All liars. Boris surely set the standards.
Oh dear Sunak struggling yet again and avoiding truth and integrity. What a 💩 show of a tory government we have!!!!
Imagine listening to this guy for 10 minutes 😂 – thanks for cutting the clip 🙏🏽
The Post Office looks to be a magnet for incompetent leadership who speak with forked tongues.
Baddy Keminoch!
Rishi Recession wants people to drop before the payout,it was done with the miners.
Why didnt he just ask the question again? And why doesnt he call the tories out..
can someone please ask Ritchy why the ONS have just changed their methodology for calculating ‘excess deaths’, for the the first time in twenty years ? ta.
Kier Starmer is a Tory.
Lost his tongue, did he ?? Oh sorry …. that should be “genitalia” or are they with WEF for safekeeping ??
Badenoch gives fellow transgender a bad name!
Who is the toerag here?
