The police chief who led an inquiry into the activities of British Army double-agent ‘Stakeknife’ during ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, has described claims that his actions saved countless lives as being ‘hugely exaggerated’. Speaking at the publication of his ‘Operation Kenova’ report, chief constable Jon Boutcher from the Police Service of Northern Ireland insists the spy’s actions ‘resulted in more lives being lost than were saved’.

A secret audio recording obtained by ITV News has revealed Post Office boss Paula Vennells was told directly about problems with the Horizon system and warned not to cover them up. In a meeting with independent investigators from Second Sight on July 2, 2013, Ms Vennells was made aware of allegations that sub-postmaster branch accounts could be accessed remotely. This is something the Post Office had denied for years. She was also told by investigators that the company’s position in denying Horizon faults was both “dangerous” and "stupid", according to the recording. Report by Czubalam.
