HENRY DEEDES sees MPs vent their fury over the Post Office scandal

Bankruptcy. Imprisonment. And, in some cases, suicide. The Post Office IT scandal, in which postmasters were falsely accused of stealing due to a dicky computer system – many of their lives being ruined as they were subsequently dragged through the courts – is an issue of gut-wrenching, hair-tearing horror. Emotive issues call for emotive politicians. Which makes the appearance of business minister Paul Scully yesterday rather unfortunate, as he issued a statement following last week s Court of Appeal verdict that dramatically overturned 39 convictions. Mr Scully exhibits flashes of competence but lacks, shall we say, a certain bedside manner. Those caught up in this cruel saga are the victims of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in modern times, yet there were moments when Scully spoke with the contrition of a waiter who d just cocked up a drinks order.
