Watching it live now. It’s absolutely damning!

It's incredulous, having watched the inquiry from the beginning it makes what was covered in the drama look live a love story!

The Post Office began in 1660 and worked fine - privatised in 2015 - ruined as a service by 2023 - wonder what caused that then?

Even Maggie wouldn’t privatise it I think that tells you something,but Vince cable did

Pretty sure your confusing Royal Mail with POL, especially since you referred to it as a "service" which is a more appropriate description of the mail service?
