A LOTT TO BE ANGRY ABOUT

POST BOSSES PARTY TO PIXIE AS HORIZON SCANDAL UNFOLDS

- SASKIA ROWLANDS

SHAMELESS Paula Vennells boogied to Pixie Lott at a staff knees-up as the Post Office fought a legal case by sub-postmasters wrongly jailed for theft. 

The Post Office boss was filmed with fellow top brass at the expenses paid company bash at a five-star hotel. Ms Vennells partied with predecessor Alan Cook, who oversaw the wrongful prosecution of 161 sub-postmasters and the imprisonment of 57.

There too was Kevin Gilliland, head of retail at the height of the scandal. And there was an invite for Angela Van Den Bogerd, a dogged advocate of faulty Horizon software blamed for wrongful convictions.

Last night Seema Misra, who was pregnant when she was wrongly jailed, said: "This is utterly shameful." 

The Surrey sub-postmistress, 48, added: "I can't believe it - people lost their lives and these people are out there partying. Every time I think I have heard it all, something new emerges, it's disgusting.

"In 2017 I was struggling to make ends meet and my youngest didn't even celebrate his birthday, and these people are out having a party."
