The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Post Office investigator ‘bullied’ sub-postmistress over accounting shortfall, inquiry hears” – below is their description.
Sub-postmistress Jacqueline McDonald claimed she was “bullied” by Stephen Bradshaw during an interview over an alleged shortfall at her branch in Broughton, Lancashire after he accused her of telling him a “pack of lies”.
In the statement, she said: “Shortly after I had been audited and my post office was taken away from me, I read an article in a magazine which highlighted other people who have suffered or are about to suffer the same hell I was going through. I then got in touch with the writer of the article who then put me in touch with the JFSA (Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance).
“This was a very big surprise to me as I was led to believe by the investigator for the POL Stephen Bradshaw that I was the only one in this position and this has never happened before.”
Mr Bradshaw denied the allegations put to him, which included telling Mrs McDonald that she couldn’t seek legal assistance. He said any issues with the IT system weren’t reported ‘from the top’.
