"Keir Starmer Faces Scrutiny Over Post Office Prosecutions"

Sir Keir Starmer, the current Labour leader and former head of the Crown Prosecution Service, claims he was unaware of the Horizon cases brought against sub-postmasters during his tenure. He defended his lack of knowledge, citing the large number of cases handled by the CPS. The Horizon scandal involved faulty IT systems leading to wrongful prosecutions of postmasters, with plans now in place to overturn convictions and compensate affected individuals. The fallout has also drawn attention to politicians' handling of the Post Office over the past two decades, with criticism directed at both Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Ed Davey, the current leader of the Liberal Democrats.
