POST Office bosses raked in almost £20million while their IT system ripped subpostmasters' lives apart, it has emerged.

Analysis of company accounts reveals five bosses took home almost £19.4million over 24 years.

Paula Vennells, who headed the organisation between 2010 and 2019, earned £5.1million during her tenure.

She refused to comment yesterday on allegations she had misled MPs.

Confronted by a reporter for Channel 4, she cycled away as she was told there was "a lot of evidence" of a cover-up.
