There’s a very lengthy backstory to Nadhim Zahawi’s HMRC settlement, and lots of people have been asking me to summarise it. Here goes: taxpolicy.org.uk/zahawi_stor…

Nadhim Zahawi - the whole story

UPDATE: this was written on 19 January, and I haven't updated it. We subsequently learned (thanks to the Guardian) that Zahawi had been charged a large penalty. And we now know, thanks to Sir Laurie...

Today’s Telegraph story on the Post Office scandal has a revealing quote from a civil servant, that shows he/she doesn’t remotely get it. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03…

Postmasters ruined by Post Office IT scandal offered ‘insulting’ £10k for reputational damage

Tax lawyer Dan Neidle blasts recompense scheme for victims who went to court over false accusations of theft as ‘abhorrent’

Putting postmasters “in the position they would have been” if it wasn’t for the scandal? If I punch someone in the face, I don’t get to compensate them for loss of earnings and then walk away whistling. Postmasters expect exemplary/punitive and aggravated damages, and should… nitter.fdn.fr/i/web/status/164…

The Post Office’s actions were so wrong, over such a long period of time, and affected its victims’ lives in so profound a way, that calculating economic loss is 1 very hard and 2 insufficient. And that’s precisely what aggravated damages are for.

The Post Office’s conduct, every step of the way, more than justifies exemplary/punitive damages. They lied and lied, to the public and the courts. Litigating their (false) defence aggressively at every stage.

At one point they even made a hopeless application for the judge to recuse himself. lawgazette.co.uk/news/judge-…

Judge dismisses application to recuse himself from Post Office trial

Mr Justice Peter Fraser confident he can resolve litigation in 'wholly impartial' manner.

Which is why, more than ten years after the Post Office scandal came to light, so many of its victims are yet to receive compensation, and those who have are receiving inadequate amounts.

The current Government bears no responsibility for the failures of the past. But it, alone, has the ability to put them right. That has to start with the understanding that economic damages are, practically and morally, insufficient.

Read this and tell me it’s enough for the Post Office to pay compensation that puts postmasters “in the position they would have been” if it wasn’t for the scandal.

@TomWitherow’s piece worth reading in full dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Post Office IT scandal is blamed for FOUR suicides

Four people caught up in the Post Office IT scandal are believed to have taken their own lives after being hounded for cash that wasn't even missing, a Daily Mail investigation has found.

Politicians of all parties should be responding as if this was an urgent crisis and the greatest miscarriage of justice of their lifetime. Because it is. A state-owned company using the resources of the state to prosecute people it knew were innocent. Act now.

The government needs to get a grip here, because yet again the Post Office seems to think it can worm and wheedle its way out of paying proper compensation to those it has defamed and destroyed.

The Post Office falsely accused thousands of postmasters of theft. But the level of compensation now being offered is an insult. Your reputation in shreds for a decade? The local community convinced you were a thief? Forced to move? Maybe, just maybe, they’ll pay £10,000.

I don’t understand how anyone involved in the process - particularly the Post Office and their lawyers, can think this is a fair outcome. The Government needs to do much better.

It gets worse. Postmasters claiming compensation have to fill in lengthy forms with details the Post Office should obviously already know. Since, you know, it's stuff that the Post Office did.

I'd thought this was deliberate obstruction. But I'm now hearing that the Post Office is such a disaster that they **don't know** how much money they wrongfully took from the postmasters, and didn't keep records of their appalling actions towards them.

Given many postmasters are in their 70s and 80s, requiring them to complete length forms in practice means many won't apply. So the Post Office is benefiting from its own destruction of evidence. That's abhorrent.
