The revelations exposed by last week’s BBC Panorama programme, which uncovered the Post Office Horizon scandal, are deeply shocking, and now we must see swift answers provided for all those who were unjustly wronged.

For years, sub-postmasters tragically had their lives ruined by being falsely accused, pursued and imprisoned due to a faulty IT system, all whilst Post Office bosses refused to accept computer glitches were causing problems, and spent tens of millions of pounds defending its position.

This appalling scandal has had a profound impact on many Post Office workers, and sadly I know some in St Helens North were affected.

Clearly, a thorough investigation and compensation are urgently needed to restore public confidence and ultimately deliver justice.
