Former subpostmasters union leader ‘privately tipped off Post Office on Horizon’

BBC Panorama said ‘ we have heard these concerns from postmasters about Horizon we are considering a programme on it, would you be free for some questions?’. He sent their letter to Vennells. Vennells sent it to her PR who contacted Thomson and said ‘thanks – is it ok with you if I contacted Panorama? ‘ Thomson said ‘hold up, it will look like this originated from me and that would not look good’. He knew he was backstabbing.
