So #RishiSunak is rushing through emergency legislation to quash the remaining convictions in the #HorizonIT scandal....
Its pretty clear that this has been prompted not by the years of campaigning, not by the #publicinquiry (although that has helped), but by a TV drama.
What this tells you is this isn't about 'recognising' the massive suffering among those wrongly convicted & fraudulently robbed of money by the #postoffice
No, like so much UK #politics, its all about the 'optics'!
