Commons erupts as Lee Anderson tells Ed Davey to resign over Post Office row in brutal PMQs attack 

Davey should go. If he had any decency he would step down. He hasn't. So he won't.

Ed Davey obviously should ' clear off ' but he's not alone . What about the mangers in post office and software company that provided faulty product causing the problem in first place ? We need prosecutions and prison time for guilty.

Total and absolute failure to answer the question. Ed Davey should go, but not before explaining why a bunch of over paid lawyers who were prosecuting post masters, felt inclined to grease his palm with payments of over £250,000. I smell another cover up.

The general public will not rest until they see the criminals responsible for this outrage in handcuffs.

The people at the top of the post office must go to prison for this miscarriage of justice

Sadly it's the TV programme that brought it into light not the government

I can see over 500 people who should resign in shame in this video alone

£75.000 for getting your life ruined by a corrupt kangaroo court system how many back handers went on to Bastards

I can't stand smarmy Sunak, he does not give a toss.

The sad thing is, even if Ed Davey steps down as a politician, he will somehow be rewarded with a top job elsewhere. This country constantly seems to reward those who are most incompetent/corrupt with high paying positions.

What I think is disgusting is that it's taken a tv drama to highlight this appalling situation. I've known about it and been following the story for years.

The whole system is rotten.

He can talk! What about all the Tory MPs implicated in this awful scandal who have sat on their arses for the past 13 years doing sweet F A.

One of the greatest injustices in the history of our country and it took an ITV drama days to do what successive politicians couldn’t do in 21 years.

Weasel Ed will worm his way out of this scandal

When the PM says 'we have paid this and we have paid that' what he is really saying is the British tax payer has paid. WHY. Surly the Post office and Fujitsu should be paying? The monies they took from their workers is in their coffers. They must be made to pay it all back and all compensation that is to be paid in the , hopefully, not too distant future.

All those that attributed to the scandal of the 700+ Posties must be brought to justice

Ed Davie wasn't even in the house of commons today running scared.

The post office, the police, Fujitsu, the auditors, HMRC , DPP ( Starmer) Post office minister Davey, the lawyers have all let these people down.

All of them can not be trusted.

How do you fix a justice system that is responsible for so many unjust convictions .

And Sunak avoids the question completely..🤔What a surprise.

What about the Covid Cover Up Enquiry???

They should be fining and prosecuting Fujitsu for their faulty software and retrieving damages for the victims. But no, they would all rather keep stealing our tax money to pay for their mistakes.

Look at all those there for the post office yet none stay to hear about the excess deaths we’re currently being plagued by

Like most middle aged people I'm jaded and bored of politics and don't allow it to make me feel much emotion but the way they treated these postmasters is sickening. People should be going to jail

Time to hold politicians accountable.

Ed Davey has no honor

How, exactly, do you compensate and provide justice for those for whom the only way was suicide?

This scandal has been kept safe n the back burner for years. It’s only being dragged out and “dealt with” now to act as a distraction. Yes what happened to hundreds of sub-postmasters is dreadful, but it pales in comparison to the thousands of excess deaths being recorded weekly, the explosion in numbers of cancer cases and other health issues related to mRNA vaccines rollout.

Notice he never said yes He should.

The way Sunak dodges questions, he would be a world dodge ball champion applying those skills. The man has a better side step than Phil Bennett had against the All Blacks.

Special thanks should go to Andrew Bridgen who oversaw hundreds of convictions were quashed over this issue. The Tory party are a disgrace.

Sunak answers a question that was never asked.

They are all guilty of prolonging the agony of these innocent people...smart speeches don't sort things out, it requires immediate action.

Good for Lee! Ed Davey should take his own advice.

How many mps sitting in that room ignored this 30 year scandal covered up by all parties.

The greatest miscarriage of justice is sunak being prime minister

Clear his desk? And make room in a cell! Like those wrongly convicted

And how many of the Post Office management and board who lied and ordered others to lie before a court of justice against innocent men and women will be charged and sent to prison. Including the Lords and Ladies who have friends in very high places. Probably none.

Only this 3 bob MP could make a cheap political point out of this. What has he done for his constiuant? What has the whole lot of them done. They all knew about it. What about tainted blood scandal? Slow, yet they all know about it! What about Windrush? Slow, yet thy all know about it! Grenfell Hospital scandals All slow.

Takes a TV programme to expose this?, they all knew, takes a TV programme for them to react,

I just love how there pointing the blame at other mp’s. This as been in public eye and more so in governments eye for decades and now it’s all over tv. It’s a national disgrace. Typical politicians

All complicit should be in jail

Amazing how fast they all act on something when they're at fault which shows you they have no intention of stopping boats

Oh my goodness these tories have had nearly 14 years with this information? Why have they done absolutely nothing? and it has took publics absolute disgust is this matter that it has not been addressed to make them react, and pretend to be appalled? Oh! It’s so very sickening and false!🤷‍♂️

Someone should make a program about the WASPI Women They can't blame that Injustice on a Computer Glitch!!

Typical politicians. All jumping on the bandwagon all of a sudden. Pathetic - sums most of them up quite frankly!

Sunak makes me vomit. The very worst kind of politicians.

He is not even there!

Blair was PM and Starmer was DPP when the problems with Horizon were first reported yet they done NOTHING

How the judicial system did not smell a rat is also questionable!

The house of criminals. It's nothing less.

Davey I'd quick to tell others to resign. Let's see if he will fall on HIS sword.

Why single out Ed Davey? All parties have questions to answer. Blair introduced Horizon. The Tory Party has been slow to put matters right as regards the aggrieved sub post masters and pay them adequate compensation. There have been 17 ministers responsible for postal services since 2000 when Horizon was rolled out if Davey is forced to resign why should not the others?

as usual, the actual question wasnt answered

There's a surprise Sunak not answering a question.

Rishi ... that man just asked you a question. Well, Paula Vennells was the boss of the Post Office but, in a funny way, Ed Davey was her boss, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to be similarly held responsible for the outrage. He has form for demanding all sorts of penitence from other people who have stepped out of line, and I think it's time for the biter to be bit!

I wonder how many of these criminals have their sticky fingers in the pie.. ?

Sunak as chancellor, knowing full well the details of the case, also did nothing and continued to award billions of pounds worth of contracts to Fujitsu, the company responsible for the software and a significant donator to "the cause". By all means clap Davy in irons if he is found guilty. Do not forget to charge and convict the rest of that criminal fraternity, tory or otherwise.

Sunak answers questions like my MP. However detailed, however clear ... ask a question they don't want to answer and presto, you get the usual statements that we knew already. At least I don't feel alone now as Anderson got the same sort of reply that I get from my tory MP.

Why have the taxpayers having to pay for this, should be the company that supplied the faulty software.

They will not dig to deep they do not want the judges who colluded with the royal mail dragged into this.

Lee Anderson didn't get an answer to the question asked, he did however receive a load of waffle that already been given in the house earlier.

Anderson so thick he diesnt realise the Tories are equally to blame for doing bugger all about the scandal.

For once, Sunak could have answered a question incontrovertibly. Imagine if it was Mrs T who had stood up in response to this question. She would have ground Ed Davey into dust with her mockery, for his hypocrisy in calling for others to resign for their supposed misdemeanours, when he will not (so far), and his sheer cowardice in staying away and probably crying to Mummy. She would have mocked Ed Davey unremorsefully, but Sunak, apart from his ability to stab other's in the back for what he himself has done, and totting up a balance sheet, has no talents for PM on show whatsoever..........

He should but he won't. Neither will he deny his knighthood.

Lee Anderson should resign himself

I'm more Interested that the Post Office Guilty Go to JAIL !

Being a politician, Davey will just tough it out and not fall on his sword. Are we surprised?

They should all resign apart from Andrew Bridgen

They WILL NOT answer questions! As far as I am concerned every single MP (with one or two exceptions)should resign for what they have done and are continuing to do to this great country! Where oh where is our Oliver Cromwell?

Isnt this the government who have sat on this disgrace for the last thirteen years without once , not once trying to help those poor souls . Yes ed davey should clear his desk as should every tory mp . And if im being honest every bloody one of them from every party . This is the icing on this countrys current parlimentary cake .

It's really important that we don't allow knee-jerk demands for immediate resignations of prominent politicians to short-circuit, or pre-empt, the work of the Horizon Inquiry. The work being done here is vital for revealing the role of all politicians and employees of Post Office and Fujitsu at all levels, and there's no doubt that Sir Wyn and the Inquiry's solicitors are well aware of exactly who is responsible (from past sessions) and who is likely to be (based on sessions to come). Resignations will undoubtedly follow, but in the meantime we finally have a route to getting justice and compensation for those affected very quickly after a long delay.

A masterful display of obfuscation and not answering the question. But one must add, in all other matters, this PM sets himself the lowest of standards - and then fails to live up to them.

Ed Davey Should Go......

There is now a petition on 38 Degrees to strip Ed Davey of his knighthood

Those that live by the sword , die by the sword , he can not call for all of those people to resign , and not resign himself , ........don't hold your breath waiting though

Rishi seems proud that the government spent £150 million (of our money) on compensation for 2,500 victims of government incompetence and fraud - that equates to just £60,000 per person for loss of income, stress, imprisonment foe some, broken marriages and suicides. - the ministers would spill that much taxpayer subsidised booze at lunchtime - It's a cruel world,

Sunak did not even answer the question asked of him by Mr. Anderson. Surely it is time he (Sunak) grew some ‘balls’. Might I suggest some lemon chicken ones from the nearest ‘take away’?

Full house today where were they all when our sovereign rights were being discussed in the house !

It didn't all come to light until 2015 and the Tories was in power. Are they all to go to ?

Mr Sunak obviously didn't hear Lee Anderson's question!🤔

Sunak couldn't say much because most of the Ministers responsible for the Post Office scandal are Tories.

The post office suspense accounts still hold this stolen money .. except the bit that went to the crooks obscene bonuses!

Nice to know the tax payer is picking up the cost of this. I guess the Post Office directors will keep their bonus.

Dithering Sunak didn't comment on Ed Davey?

Well said loved this

The government of the time had a PM from which party again? Anderson is pretty thick isn’t he!

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly that the post office scandal is a terrible miscarriage of justice I cannot agree that it is the worst! That honour goes to May, Boris and Sunak for the utter betrayal of this country.

Remove his knighthood

What about the postmaster general who got a CBE and a bonus ffs!

Clear off to prison Davey 😂

Let’s have another drama , this time surrounding the politicians expenses scandal !! I BET THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN

Let’s start another petition

One criminal asking another criminal if another criminal should resign

They think compensation will right the injustice

I think 30p lee has forgot that when ed Davy was a minister the Tories were in power

Funny how he picks out a Lib Dem but says nothing about the 16 other ministers who were equally culpable.

I hope there's this many at Andrew Bridgen's debate.
