Tim Iredale that teacher needs to have domestic science class as we did You were taught to use washing machine & iron PE kit et al could be dealt with there

#bbcpn Maybe Lia Nici could explain why I can use my OAP buss pass to vote but a student at Hull Uni issued a bus pass on grounds of disability by exactly the same Council office aren't allowed to use theirs as voter ID.

To correct the record: Tory MP Lia Nici said poverty is decreasing, even though the Child Poverty Action Group has shown child poverty is increasing.

#PostOfficeScandal Earlier today on BBC One for #bbcpn Politics North presented by Tim Iredale & the report by caroline bilton They looked into the scandal where hundreds of victims are still waiting for the full financial redress promised over many years.

On the program…

Politics North on BBC iPlayer featuring caroline bilton with the latest on the sub-postmasters’ fight for justice Janet skinner & Lee Castleton put their questions to the Post Office Minister #bbcpn

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Post Office Minister says he “doesn’t care how much it costs” to compensate victims of the Horizon IT scandal.

On Politics North, I asked Kevin Hollinrake whether financial pressure from other scandals could affect payouts to former sub-postmasters #bbcpn

Tim Iredale caroline bilton Janet skinner Lee Castleton Absolutely shocking what happened to the postmasters - they all need justice. If the itv drama hadn’t been shown they would have still have been ignored. They all need clearing, and properly compensated- it impacted their whole families.

#bbcpn I've seen Janet Skinner on TV a few times, and considering how much she and her fellow sub-postmasters have been through, she always comes across as someone with more integrity and honesty than anyone representing the Post Office or the Government.

#bbcpn There are around 1000 subpostmasters, the compensation amount is £1bn. So why not pay each subpostmaster £1m RIGHT NOW. If the Post Office/Fujitsu disagree, let them fight through the courts to get their money back.
