Betty Brown, the oldest surviving victim of the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, will receive an OBE at Windsor Castle today. Brown was one of hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly accused of stealing, and was forced out of her County Durham branch in 2003 – despite her and her late husband spending more than £50,000 of their savings to make good on losses which didn’t exist.

Asked in a one-on-one exchange about a timeline for the war, Hinson said, “I’m deferring to the president on the negotiations because he has the team doing it.” However, she added: “I do hope we can get this done by the next couple of weeks.
