DISGRACED ex-Post Office chief Paula Vennells is “heading into the corner where there’s no way out” at the Horizon IT inquiry, a campaigning former subpostmistress said today.

Jo Hamilton, who was falsely accused of stealing £36,000 from the Post Office branch she ran in South Warnborough, Hampshire, urged Ms Vennells to tell the truth when she appears before the inquiry tomorrow.

Ms Hamilton said she would “just put my hands up” and say “I’m really sorry and this is what happened.”
