Mas apertar o crédito privado vai estancar como a necessidade de financiamento do setor público, NFSP, também conhecida como deficit nominal?

Claro que está, hoje só o crescimento da NFSP cresce 7-8% ao ano. Antes o país tava superavitário e tinha deficit nominal pequeno.

Well said. The NFSP did NOTHING to help those postmasters/mistresses because they were in the pockets of the govt.

When MoneyGram suffered a security breach POL dropped them completely.Will this unfortunate incident give POL the excuse to reluctantly end the NFSP relationship to "safeguard SPM details"

Post Office already funds the NFSP at around £2.5m a year, originally under a deal running to 2030. So why another £2.4m on crisis PR? If the relationship with postmasters is healthy, why buy reputation management? If it isn’t healthy, what exactly is the NFSP funding achieving?

Given that NFSP Branch Secretary, Susan Edgar, who would later become a Non-Executive Director of the NFSP, told the Inquiry in March 2022 that she personally witnessed remote access at Fujitsu in 2016, why don't victims sue the NFSP for apparently intentional neglect?
#PostOfficeScandal #CAPTURE #StateSponsoredCrimes #HumanRights THE POST OFFICE'S "CHANGE IN CULTURE" — NOW WITH 40-PAGE COURT SUBMISSIONS Blair McDougall MP, Post Office Minister, would like you all to know there has been a "change in culture" at the Post Office. The evidence? The Post Office has filed a forty-page legal submission opposing the appeal of Patricia Owen, convicted of theft in 1998 on Capture software the Post Office now concedes was faulty. Mrs Owen died in 2003. She is therefore unable to attend the hearing at which the Post Office will explain why her trial was fair. Some highlights of the new culture: — £3.2m paid across a scheme with 200 applicants. Twenty-four final payments. The arithmetic is left as an exercise for the reader. — Convicted sub-postmasters get nothing until their convictions are overturned. Their convictions cannot be overturned because the Post Office is opposing the Appeals. The Post Office of course is the body that prosecuted them in the first place. This is described as "due process." The Minister "perfectly understands the sense of frustration" but "cannot comment on individual cases." He can, however, comment on the abstract importance of "full facts and all the information laid out" — a sentiment the Post Office has spent twenty-five years experimentally rejecting. Post Office Chair Nigel Railton, asked about mass exoneration, says he supports it. Post Office lawyers, asked to stop fighting the Appeals, file another forty pages. One of these positions is the Post Office's actual position. Readers may guess which. The CCRC is sitting on 29 Capture cases. The first wrongful Horizon conviction took sixteen years to overturn through the courts. Parliament eventually had to legislate away the rest. Minister McDougall declined to rule out doing the same for Capture. He also declined to do it. We are told we are entering "the period where the scandal begins to conclude." On current trajectory, conclusion will arrive shortly after the heat death of the universe, at which point the Post Office will issue a brief statement noting that all parties received a fair trial. inews.co.uk/news/post-office… @CastletonLee @Karlfl @rbrooks45 @Janetsk20073533 @VarchasPatel @PostOffice @liambyrne @CommonsBTC @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords

ECCO : POST OFFICE SCANDAL THEY HOPED YOU'D NEVER HEAR ABOUT Janette Armour ran a Post Office branch in East Kilbride. From day one, the ECCO software didn't work. Every week, money was disappearing. She wrote letters to @PostOffice begging for help. She kept losing hundreds of pounds a week. She and her husband covered at least £16,000 in shortfalls every year for two and a half years. They sold one branch. Then the other. Their livelihood, gone. That was the early 1990s. Last week, more than 30 years later, the Post Office sat down with Janette Armour and NFSP @NFSP_UK CEO Calum Greenhow and revealed something remarkable. They still have copies of her letters. The ones where she asked for help. The ones nobody acted on. She said: "I knew I wasn't making a mistake. I knew there was something wrong." She was right. ECCO was used across hundreds of Crown and sub-Post Office branches through the 1990s. Rupert Lloyd Thomas, a Post Office insider who spent 27 years in the organisation, described the software as "chronically unreliable" and "cheap and nasty." He says he spent years trying to get it fixed. Nobody in charge wanted to hear it. This is now the third Post Office IT scandal. After Horizon. After Capture. ECCO . The Department for Business and Trade is asking affected former subpostmasters to come forward. Most of the users were Crown branch employees between 1992 and 1999. They are not members of the NFSP. Nobody has been systematically looking for them. The Post Office has the letters. They have had them for three decades. A woman lost her business while they sat in a filing cabinet.

There is a different tone in Bowen’s voice. He actually seems worried. Expect the National Fuel Security Plan (NFSP) to move to Level 3 very soon.

#PostOfficeScandal #NetworkTransformation #NFSP ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER INQUIRY Post Office Limited: The Gift That Keeps on Investigating So here we are again. The Department for Business and Trade has today published the terms of reference for yet another independent investigation into Post Office Limited. This time: the Network Transformation Programme. The one that ran from 2010 to 2019. The one that ended seven years ago. The one involving allegations of coercion, bullying, misrepresentation, and the provision of unregulated financial advice to postmasters being press-ganged onto new contracts. Coercion. Bullying. Unregulated financial advice. Misrepresentation. Not the words of a campaigner. Not the words of a Barrister in an adversarial hearing. The words of a Government department. In a formal terms of reference. Published today. On GOV.UK. Under the crest. The investigation will be led by Adam Tolley KC and will proceed in three elegant phases: gather evidence, analyse it, then produce an assessment that DBT can use "to decide whether further action may be needed." Whether. Further action. May be needed. Ponder, if you will, the category known in this document as "hard-to-place" SubPostmasters. People who wanted to leave the Post Office Network but were trapped: unable to receive their leaver's payment until a suitable replacement could be found. SubPostmasters, in other words, who were stuck. And who, while stuck, were apparently subject to the full range of NTP implementation practices now under examination. The document also notes — with admirable precision — that the investigation will examine scripts used by "field change advisors." Specialists, we are told, responsible for converting Branches to new operating models. One imagines those scripts were not light reading. Correspondence between the NFSP, Government Ministers, and Senior Officials is also in scope. Students of the Grant Funding Agreement between the National Federation of Subpostmasters and Post Office Limited — the arrangement by which the supposed representative body of SubPostmasters was funded by the organisation it was meant to hold to account — may find that particular thread worth watching. The scope excludes Horizon IT matters. Those, we are reminded, are covered elsewhere. The Scandal is now so large it requires formal partitioning. Postmasters affected by the NTP can submit evidence to NTPInvestigation@businessandtrade.gov.uk. They can also write to an address in Admiralty Place, London SW1A 2DY — should they prefer to do it the old-fashioned way, as perhaps befits an institution that has been doing things the old-fashioned way for rather longer than is comfortable. The final report will be published. Eventually. In the fullness of time. In the meantime: another investigation. Another KC. Another phase of evidence-gathering. Another assessment. Another decision about whether further action may be needed. The Network Transformation Programme ended in 2019. The Statutory Inquiry has not yet concluded. Fujitsu has not paid a penny. But we are, at least, still gathering evidence. 🧵1 of 2 @rbrooks45 @voiceofthePM @NFSP @fujitsu_uk @PostOffice @PostOfficeNews @biztradegovuk @liambyrnemp @CommonsBTC @CommonsPAC @darrenpjones @premnsikka @TimBushLondon @StephenBouvierX @marksweney @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533

There were two others, besides Susan Edgar in the group on Facebook who were attacking Horizon victims in 2018/9. One was Calum Greenhow. He was the quieter of the three, but basically, it was 'verboten' to speak ill of George Thomson, the NFSP or Horizon. This email says else!

#PostOfficeScandal #NFSP THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF SUBPOSTMASTERS: A VERY GENEROUS ARRANGEMENT Or: How To Spend £30 Million of Public Money Buying Silence and Call It "Representation" The National Federation of Subpostmasters — that fearless champion of the nation's Sub-Postmasters which, when its members were being wrongly prosecuted, bankrupted and imprisoned, bravely... checks notes... did absolutely NOTHING. This, it transpires, was not mere incompetence but contractual obligation. The NFSP's 2015 Grant Funding Agreement with Post Office Limited — a snip at £30 million-plus of publicly-backed funds over 15 years — contained "restrictive covenants" prohibiting media campaigns, public protests, funding litigation, or indeed any behaviour "materially detrimental" to Post Office interests. An organisation nominally representing Sub-Postmasters was contractually forbidden from representing Sub-postmasters. One imagines the irony was lost on nobody except the NFSP's leadership. Mr Justice Fraser was characteristically direct, finding the NFSP "not remotely independent of the Post Office" and noting it had "put its own members' interests well below its own." A 2013 email from then-General Secretary George Thomson rather gave the game away: "If necessary, NFSP will drop Union badge to sign contract." The badge duly dropped. The cheques duly cleared. THE PROCUREMENT QUESTION NOBODY ASKED The agreement was styled as a "grant" — conveniently sidestepping the competitive tendering requirements of public procurement law. Yet the Post Office wasn't dispensing charity. It was purchasing two very specific services: (1) professional representation of its network; and (2) guaranteed organisational silence. That, in any rational analysis, is a public services contract requiring open competition under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. No advertisement. No tender. No competition. No transparency. Just a quiet arrangement between paymasters and the paid. THE VALUE FOR MONEY QUESTION Which brings us to the matter HM Treasury and/or the Public Accounts Committee might wish to examine with some urgency. Post Office Limited is government-owned. This was effectively public money. Did spending £30 million-plus to fund an organisation contractually prevented from challenging Post Office decisions — during a period when those decisions were destroying innocent lives — represent value for money? Does it satisfy Treasury rules on Managing Public Money, which require that expenditure achieves "good value for the Exchequer as a whole"? Or did the British taxpayer unwittingly bankroll the institutional gagging of the very people who needed a voice most? THE DEMOCRACY QUESTION The NFSP's constitution, meanwhile, prevents ordinary members from voting directly — requiring instead "board-approved intermediaries," with Directors retaining absolute veto power. Former National Executive Officer Mark Baker called this arrangement "nothing more than a sham." It would take a braver commentator than this one to disagree. THE EXISTENTIAL QUESTION The Procurement Act 2023 will finally require competitive tendering for Sub-Postmaster representation. The NFSP must now compete on merit — a novel experience for an organisation whose primary qualification was its willingness not to rock the boat while it sank. Sub-Postmasters deserved a representative body that would fight for them. They got one contractually bound to silence. The invoice, naturally, went to the taxpayer. PS. Note the magnaminous advice below assisting @PostOffice in their fight against 555 SubPostmasters in the Bates vs. The Post Office GLO Litigation. 🤷‍♂️ @NFSP_UK @voiceofthePM @CWUnews @CWUPostmasters @CWUPostmaster @CommonsBTC @liambyrnemp @CommonsPAC @hmtreasury @RachelReevesMP @darrenpjones @DavidDavisMP @premnsikka @UKHouseofLords @HouseofCommons @NigelRailton @PostOfficeNews @marksweney @Karlfl @BBCEmmaSimpson

#PostOfficeScandal #ParmodKalia #StateSponsoredCrime The Quiet Dignity of Parmod Kalia (6th December 1958 –13th March, 2026) Parmod Kalia was a trained Banker. An Associate of the Institute of Bankers. Assistant Bank Manager. Treasurer of an International Charity. A man for whom every penny had to be accounted for. He chose the Orpington Post Office for the quiet life. Stable hours. Time with his wife and four children. The Horizon system repaid that modest ambition with a phantom shortfall of £22,202.01. Post Office Ltd told him he was "the only one." The National Federation of SubPostmasters — his supposed protector — told him to repay the money and fabricate a story. He borrowed £22,000 from his Mother's life savings. Post Office pocketed every penny. Then they prosecuted him anyway. 6 months in Prison. 14 years in hiding. 3 occasions where he nearly took his own life. A 17 year estrangement from his son Mahesh, who was just 17 when they took his father away. Children who grew up asking: "Dad, have you taken the money?" His own children. Asking if their father was a thief. Because the State told them he was. His conviction was finally quashed in May 2021. He should have spent his remaining years in peace, rebuilding what was stolen. Instead, the Post Office unleashed elite City law firms to fight tooth and claw over every penny piece of his Redress. They challenged causation. They delayed. They low-balled. They rejected his interim claim of £100,000 on "public interest grounds." Highly paid lawyers — billing more per hour than Parmod earned in a week — deployed forensic cruelty against a traumatised, terminally declining man whose only demand was that someone look him in the eye and say: 'we did this to you, and we are sorry'. He tragically died on March 13, 2026. Still fighting. Still waiting. Still uncompensated. Still dignified. The inhumane savages masquerading as lawyers who wage this war of attrition against Parmod, his family and hundreds like him will simply move on, adjust their cufflinks, sip their flat whites, and open the next file. Another victim. Another billable hour. This obscene tragedy simply cannot continue. The time is long overdue for the Prime Minister to intervene — to show some leadership, some backbone, and some basic human decency. These are not commercial disputes. These are traumatised victims of a State-sponsored crime. The lawyers instructed to handle their redress must be ordered — ordered — to show compassion, humanity, and urgency. Every day of delay is another day stolen. And as Parmod Kalia's demise has proved, the days run out. Rest now, Parmod. The truth outlived them all. The shame belongs to those who made you wait. @Keir_Starmer @darrenpjones @biztradegovuk @AGinsight @liambyrnemp @commonsBTC @RachelReevesMP @DavidDavisMP @kevinhollinrake @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @SeemaMisra_OBE @edwardhenry1 @BBCEmmaSimpson @nickwallis @Karlfl @marksweney @hrw @Cyclefree2 @DanNeidle @SkyNewsAdele @BBCBreakfast @ElCShaikh @VarchasPatel @Pinsent_Masons @hmtreasury @HouseofCommons @premnsikka @TimBushLondon @UKHouseofLords @TjX50 @Malcolm22206844 @NFSP @postoffice @PostOfficeNews @NFSP_UK @voiceofthepm @NigelRailton
