A petition calling for ex-Post Office chief Paula Vennells to be stripped of her CBE over the Horizon scandal has passed one million signatures.
By 6am on Monday, it had attracted some 1,000,005 signatures as the nation reels in revulsion at the treatment of sub-postmasters and postmistresses wrongly prosecuted for fraud.
North Durham Labour MP Kevan Jones, one of the parliamentarians who has helped to expose the scandal, said: “Vennells has been the one who is the most high profile.
“But if you look through this scandal there is a whole number of individuals who have questions to answer.”
