They are out this week. The Making and Breaking of a Subpostmaster I first spoke to Pete Murray whilst the Bates v Post Office group litigation was active. Pete had taken on the Hope Farm Road branch in Great Sutton in 2014, a year after being made… ## [Project Brisbane to Remain Secret](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/project-brisbane-to-remain-secret/) _2026-07-31 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ Eleanor Shaikh has lost her court bid to have a single line in a government email unredacted. The line related to a top secret Post Office report called Project Brisbane. The Post Office has maintained that Brisbane and everything related to it is legally privileged , which means it is exempt from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. The ruling means we may never find out what it contains. The… ## [Postmaster announces legal action over Capture redress scheme](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/postmaster-announces-legal-action-over-capture-redress-scheme/) _2026-07-31 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ Former Subpostmaster Lee Bowerman has announced his intention to pursue legal action over the financial compensation offer he has received through the Capture Redress Scheme. Writing to the Department of Business, Bowerman said it follows my complete loss of confidence in the fairness, transparency and integrity of the assessment process and a scheme which is not fit for purpose. The Capture… ## [The Post Office scandal’s Postcode Lottery](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/horizon-compensation-advisory-board-come-out-swinging/) _2026-07-01 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ Victims of the Post Office Scandal are being treated differently in Scotland to those in England and Wales. The revelation has come through the work of the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board, an advisory panel which has alerted the government to the Post Office scandal s own postcode lottery. Professor Chris Hodges, the chair of the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board, has written to Darren… ## [MacLeod and Gould prosecuted by the Solicitors Regulation Authority](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/macleod-and-gould-prosecuted-by-the-solicitors-regulation-authority/) _2026-06-27 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ Two solicitors with very different roles in the Post Office Horizon IT scandal are being prosecuted by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and will face a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT). An SDT has the power to permanently remove an individual s right to practice as a solicitor and leverage unlimited fines. Jane MacLeod is former General Counsel at the Post Office, which meant she… ## [The Battle for Brisbane](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/the-battle-for-brisbane/) _2026-06-18 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ The Post Office has claimed it should not make public crucial documents written six years ago, partly on the grounds doing so could compromise the organisation s capacity to receive a fair trial, should it ever face criminal proceedings over the Horizon IT scandal. Project Brisbane is a top-secret exercise conducted in 2020 by the Post Office s then-lawyers Herbert Smith Freehills. It is legally… ## [Post Office Inquiry final report delayed yet again](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/post-office-inquiry-final-report-delayed-yet-again/) _2026-06-15 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ The final report of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry has been delayed once more. Although no publication date was ever formally announced, the process is taking longer than anticipated, and participants have been told we are now highly unlikely to see the final report delivered to parliament before September this year. In early 2025 I was told by sources close to the Inquiry that the Chair, Sir… ## [Shoreham, Ropetackle Arts Theatre 2 July: The Great Post Office Cover-Up](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/shoreham-ropetackle-arts-theatre-2-july-the-great-post-office-cover-up/) _2026-06-05 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ On Thursday 2nd July I will be delivering my first (and so far only) public talk this year on the Post Office scandal. It will be at the Ropetackle Arts Theatre in Shoreham-by-Sea and I m very much looking forward to it. A lot has happened since we did that run of dates in 2024. I have written another book (the as-yet-unpublished The Great Post Office Cover-Up), which has given me a whole new… ## [Post Office’s Jane MacLeod “significant individual” in criminal investigation](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/post-offices-jane-macleod-significant-individual-in-criminal-investigation/) _2026-05-27 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ The detectives running the investigation into possible criminal activity at the Post Office have indicated that former Post Office General Counsel, Jane MacLeod, is a significant individual to their criminal investigation. Operation Olympos is a long-running police investigation formed in the wake of the Bates v Post Office civil litigation. It used to be headed up by the Metropolitan Police, but… ## [More info is revealed about Project Brisbane](https://www.postofficescandal.uk/post/more-info-is-revealed-about-project-brisbane/) _2026-05-26 · Nick Wallis · Post Office Scandal_ I am once more grateful to Eleanor Shaikh and Matthew Somerville for bringing important information into the public domain. Matthew runs the Dracos Inquiry website which mirrors the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry website whilst making every document on it searchable. There is a manual element to Matthew s work, which involves scanning the Inquiry website for new uploads. Over the weekend Matthew… ## [Reach prospects with real signals (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/rxudC7m7DXP6) _2026-05-26 · **Sponsored**_ Find prospects talking about your problem and get context-backed moments to engage ## [Free solo: King Bee Direct](https://www.davemacleod.com/blog/kingbee) _2025-09-15 · Dave MacLeod · Dave MacLeod Blog - advice on training for climbing - DAVE MACLEOD_ For a wee while I’ve wanted to solo the popular line that runs the full height of Creag Dubh: King Bee Direct. I wondered if the new bolt belay that was placed halfway up the route, after pitch 2, might have allowed the top two pitches to become a bit dirty (I was correct!). So I cleaned them both first. Video of my solo on my channel now. As always, it was a fun challenge to climb and film at the… ## [Are carbs essential for high intensity training & performance?](https://www.davemacleod.com/blog/carbs) _2024-12-15 · Dave MacLeod · Dave MacLeod Blog - advice on training for climbing - DAVE MACLEOD_ A short video exploring whether carbs are essential for high intensity sport and training, and how people on keto or carnivore diets appear to defy the rules of sports nutrition. References mentioned in the video are listed below. 1. Burke, L.M., et al., Low carbohydrate, high fat diet impairs exercise economy and negates the performance benefit from intensified training in elite race walkers. J… ## [New route on Stetind](https://www.davemacleod.com/blog/linedancing) _2024-10-04 · Dave MacLeod · Dave MacLeod Blog - advice on training for climbing - DAVE MACLEOD_ Stetind, a mountain I’ve wanted to climb for many years, hopefully via a new route. I was last in Norway for big wall new routing almost a decade ago. A new route on the excellent rock spire of Stetind was next on my list. But soon afterwards I decided I should stop flying for environmental reasons, so a return trip never happened. I thought perhaps if I one day saved up for an electric car to… ## [No Remorse 8c](https://www.davemacleod.com/blog/no-remorse-8c) _2024-09-16 · Dave MacLeod · Dave MacLeod Blog - advice on training for climbing - DAVE MACLEOD_ A few years ago I bolted a brilliant line across the big roof on Beinn an Lochain, but never got round to trying it. After I returned to the crag on a flying visit with Magnus Midtbø, I was a bit captured by the crag and bolted and climbed several other new lines, cleaned several more of the existing lines, and then got to work on the big roof. It was as much a battle with the terrible summer rain…
