🧵: The Post Office scandal is a stain on govt - hundreds of workers prosecuted and convicted on the basis of garbage evidence, lives upended, a number of victims now dead without having seen justice or compensation in their lifetimes. [1/]
ft.com/content/cb659c…
Some of those victims went to jail; many were made bankrupt. Serious, life-altering consequences. When these facts were laid bare c.2015, the Post Office's then leadership first denied the problem. When it finally caught up, govt - substantially the same as the current one - [2/]
unveiled a compensation scheme, which has achieved precious nothing, and that at glacial pace.

Clearly this fact pattern rings no bells to anyone sitting in @10DowningStreet or @ukhomeoffice (b/c we, inexplicably, let them run the country), so let me assist. [3/]

🧵Re the @CommonsHomeAffs session of 8 Mar:

The main revelation - that WW wasn’t contacted or consulted before the recommendations were dropped - is unsurprising. It is of a piece with the Home Office’s attitude towards the people who are affected by it’s policy making. [1/]
In fact, this can be characterised as a broader @ukhomeoffice stance with respect to all of its work. [2/]
This isn't necessarily news to anyone, but it is a crystallisation of a position that's been brewing for a while. The minister - Lord Murray of Blidworth -was evasive and rude to members of the Select Committee, especially @DianaJohnsonMP. [3/]

The @CommonsHomeAffs (HASC henceforth) is hearing from Windrush experts including @JacquiMckenzie6, @cboswelljones, and the author of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review, Wendy Williams, this morning. 1/

@IndependentCI @ukhomeoffice The chair @DianaJohnsonMP is speaking now. In particular, she wants to examine the HO's decision to drop 3 recommendations. And it's on to Tim Loughton. Lord save us all.

The Home Affairs Select Cttee is holding a hearing with Wendy Williams and other sector experts tmrw on @SuellaBraverman's decision to drop the parts of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review that were taking too much time away from her "WWII- What Happened Next" reenactment club.
Apologies, I'll try that again: tmrw, @CommonsHomeAffs will be hearing from Wendy Williams, @JacquiMckenzie6, @cboswelljones of JCWI, @IndependentCI's David Neal, and whichever HO suits could be spared from frontline duty on Project 'Let them drown so the Daily Mail will like us'
Ok, I'll get it right this time: tomorrow, starting at 09:45, the Home Affairs Select Committee will be taking evidence from Windrush experts, including the author of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review. committees.parliament.uk/event/17626/fo…

🚨🧵This is a thread about some Windrush Compensation Scheme advice and information events I've recently come across, which I fear contain misinformation.

Please read all the way through, as everything said here is meant in good faith and solidarity, and context is important.
This is an ad for such an event - there may be others.
It appeared on the TikTok channel of Black Child Agenda (possibly @blakchildagenda), which I understand is a respected campaign and advocacy group in the education space. vm.tiktok.com/ZMFPHPbkk/
⚠️I don't know any of the people involved in this or similar ventures, and haven't contacted them to enquire - these are my observations based on publicly posted and widely circulated media, my own knowledge of the WCS and HO process, and WL's collective experience.

In which @ukhomeoffice tells @ThomasKingsley_ “we do not recognise these figures,” in response to figures it has been forced to release following an FOI from @KateOsamor, on the success rate for appeals to the Windrush Compensation Scheme. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
You could make it up, but it wouldn’t be this stupid.

Thank you to @KateOsamor for keeping up the pressure.

We#e urgently need a Windrush Inquiry to scrutinise both what happened in the first place, and what is NOW happening with the WCS, a scandal-within-the-scandal.
If you’ve *received* 4,236 claims altogether, but over 3k of those decisions have to be REVIEWED,

and the success rate for those reviews is 1% at Tier 1, and 0.8% at Tier 2 review,

Then your Compensation Scheme is as much of Scandal, @ukhomeoffice. Staggering.
