"Documents Reveal Warnings About Flaws in Tony Blair's Horizon IT System"

Documents from a public inquiry show that former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair was warned about potential flaws in the Horizon IT system, which later led to wrongful accusations of theft against Post Office workers. Despite concerns about the system's reliability and ballooning costs, Blair and his trade and industry secretary, Peter Mandelson, decided to proceed with the project, citing political and economic reasons. The flawed software ultimately resulted in more than 900 workers being prosecuted. Blair has expressed deep sympathy for those affected by the serious flaws in the Horizon system.
