"Post Office Chairman Henry Staunton Ousted Amid Horizon IT Scandal Fallout"
Post Office chairman Henry Staunton has stepped down amid ongoing tensions following the Horizon IT scandal, with Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch stating that there was a need for new leadership. The government has not provided a reason for his dismissal, but the Post Office has confirmed that an interim chair will be appointed shortly. The Horizon scandal saw hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly convicted due to faulty accounting software, and the Post Office is currently facing public scrutiny and questions at a public inquiry.
