    "It is not enough that only a handful of Fujitsu employees are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police. The investigation must be wider and must question financial investigators, senior management and lawyers acting on behalf of the Post Office."

    Private Eye readers will know how long the mag pursued the Post Office Horizon scandal years before anyone else. Superb today to see justice done for the 39 former Postmasters who have had their convictions quashed. Horrific beyond belief what they endured.

    This story makes my fists itch. Honest Post Office staff had their lives upturned because a software biz decided that was easier to blame them than admitting its code was at fault. Good news for staff, but Fujitsu got another gravy-train contract anyway. Sick stuff.

    39 Post Office convictions quashed after Fujitsu evidence about Horizon IT platform called into question <- my writeup of the momentous Court of Appeal decision this morning.

    "British domestic spy agency MI5 wants to dispel the idea it is staffed by martini-quaffing layabouts who spend implausible amounts of time lounging around top-end bars and hotels. It has therefore opened an Instagram account."

    Amongst many jaw-dropping paragraphs in the Sub-postmasters' appeals is this gem. Document not to be disclosed "because it might assist the defence."

    As you'll know, judge referred Fujitsu to DPP for further action due to "grave concerns" about its employees' evidence. They'll be a party to that one. Gits.

    "Fujitsu was not a party to the recent Court of Appeal proceedings relating to sub-postmasters’ criminal convictions and so is not in a position to comment. We are continuing to cooperate with the ongoing Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry," that company has just told me.

    The Court of Appeal judgment on the Post Office and Fujitsu's Horizon IT system is damning. But the Clarke Advice is most damning of all: in 2013 a barrister warned the Post Office that it was ignoring basic legal duties of disclosure and fairness. The PO ignored him.

    Defendants were prosecuted convicted and sentenced on the basis cash must be missing when in fact there was no confidenance in the system that it could be. In each of the Horizon related cases - the 39 - the appellants succeed in G1 AND G2. All the convictions are unsafe.

    I think this means "we had a big virtual exercise" but mil-speak, as ever, obscures the meaning.

    Troops from the UK's 1st Combat Aviation Brigade and allies from the US Army control simulated aviation forces fusing effects in the Land and Air domains
    The exercise used modern digital technologies to fuse effects in all five domains on a simulated battlefield testing the multi-national force’s warfighting readiness and future agility.
