Your daily reminder that scumbags on the right will make up any old shit and tell barefaced lies to discredit Starmer. Thats how desperate they are getting now
"Farage went on X, formerly Twitter, to post his thoughts on the scandal, writing: "Why did
@Keir_Starmer not intervene in the Horizon scandal when he was Director of Public Prosecutions?
"The story first broke in 2009, yet the prosecutions continued until 2015.
"Given the mounting concern at the time and over 700 cases, he has serious questions to answer."
Nazir Afzal, former chief prosecutor, quoted Farage and wrote: "Because the Post Office prosecute their own cases and the CPS that Starmer led had no say or power over it
But then you know that ..."
X also added a community note to Farage's post, adding: "Royal Mail Horizon prosecutions were private criminal prosecutions.
"This is not uncommon in England. Organisations like the RSPCA regularly bring private criminal prosecutions.
"The Crown Prosecution Service (and Director of Public Prosecutions) are not involved in these."
Stick to your shitty 'news' show and making a prat of yourself on moronic guff like I'm a celeb
Save the politics for the grown ups
