A major report on the Post Office scandal has shed new light on the devastating consequences of the faulty Horizon IT system. It reveals how hundreds of sub-postmasters were wrongly accused of theft or fraud, leading to financial ruin, broken families, and even suicides—all while the Post Office repeatedly denied systemic problems.

The report forces a reckoning: How did this go unchecked for so long, and what changes are needed to prevent it from happening again?
