Ian Hislop reveals some little-known details about the Post Office scandal.
Ian Hislop at his best, bringing us up-to-date on some of the background details on what has been called the greatest miscarriage of justice in recent British history.
Ian Hislop fearlessly telling it like it is on the Post Office scandal: 'We're talking perjury here, we're not talking incompetence... This money was stolen... Fujitsu stole the money...'
And when Peston began to show signs of anxiety at his rant, no doubt fearful that it could contain libellous material: 'No reason for any of your lawyers to have a heart attack', but he increased the speed up his delivery, aware that his time was limited and that a commercial break was looming.
He was however allowed to resume his tirade after the break, when he had a go at MP Jake Berry, who for Hislop clearly personified the faux-outrage of many another Tory who had suddenly discovered sympathy for the victims in the run-up to a General Election.
An excellent contribution to the debate by Hislop, which may just help to ensure that we won't be encouraged to 'move on' without the key issues being dealt with by a proper investigation.

Well done Ian , keep sticking the truth in their face!
Ian Hislop is a national treasure
Ian Hislop -beating politicians over and over for nearly 40 years... Legendary 👏👏👏
First time the “Management class” has started to be held to account. We need lots of prison sentences and then start on Grenfell.
No, they need to go to prison for lying, breach of trust and ruining so many peoples lives… surely.
After decades of speaking truth to power without fear or favour, we of course trust Ian more than almost anyone else in the media and politics. He is a rare thing these days, a man of honour.
Ian Hislop for the head of a government oversight committee with REAL power.
Well done Ian Hislop for speaking the truth.
Give back the bonuses?
I thought Peston had stronger balls. I was wrong. And watching Ian eyeball that creepy tory MP..... priceless.
What a great man Ian is.
I feel Ian's seething anger..I join him in it.
We are all with Ian Hislop!
The thing I noticed was that the three other people in the room just thought they were on "Have I Got News For You" because they are so used to seeing him sending himself up amicably on that. What a great guy he is, our national treasure.
Ian hislop at last someone with guts morals and wisdom,we salute you.
Suicides, prison interments of good people, goodness how many nervous breakdowns, Fujitsu et al to tell postmasters that they were only person affected! This is criminal and all concerned in coverup should be behind bars.
Thank the Lord we have people like Ian Hislop in our society, most of our MPs aren't worth a blown out candle !
They keep going on about the compensation but what about the criminality
More power to his elbow.
Knowledge and intelligence is power.
