Post Office Inquiry podcast: 'I don't believe a word,' sub-postmasters say as Paula Vennells faces questioning

Why you can trust Sky News

Paula Vennells, the former boss of the Post Office, spent more than five hours on Wednesday answering questions at the public inquiry into the scandal.

It's the first time she has spoken publicly in nearly ten years.

The hundreds of wronged Post Office workers and their families have been keenly anticipating her evidence as, on her watch, prosecutions continued, despite mounting evidence that there was something wrong with the Horizon IT system.

On the Sky News Daily, Sarah-Jane Mee is in the village hall where Alan Bates began his campaign against the Post Office, meeting the sub-postmasters whose lives were ruined by the scandal.

One former sub-postmistress, Nicole, shares her story for the first time.
