Mr Moloney did a brilliant job towards the end of this video. He really showed up Paula Vennells for what she truly is.

[@paulinereid5226]

Steely and slick - slick and steely - with a veneer of innocence and 'butter wouldn't melt'. The master of spin - and as Mr Stein said yesterday, always concerned to put herself at a distance from whatever issue is placed before her. Unbelievable - literally!!

[@johnlowe-tq6ey]

She bluffs away pretending she's competent and completely innocent.....she has to live with herself but pretends she's good and even holy.....delusional and revolting.

[@THEOUTCASTSCREATIVE]

And she had an £800,000 bonus. This woman needs to go to prison. Or do rules of law not apply to the rich?

[@elliottfireice4394]

This woman has blood on her hands ! She is disgusting and vile and should be in prison for the rest of her life

[@JoelJoel321]

Now you're getting it

[@DDLNX]

Unbelievable positioning without real accountability. She defended a brand and hell to anyone else.

[@bobbasildon645]

Disgusted by this whole affair. Though Vennells is guilty, there are others who definitely need to be dragged screaming to this enquiry!! Fujitsu certainly have a lot of questions to answer - they should be punished to the full extent of the law considering the damage THEIR system has caused!!! They have blood on their hands from those who have taken their lives because of this - and for that they should never ever be trusted again. Shame on you Fujitsu!!!!!

[@seltaeb3302]

Previous CEO also, who started this whole disaster. Judges also didn't question what was going on, bar one, who had the whole village support their postmistress & knew there was a rat afoot & dismissed the case. Well done him. Renationalise it now.

[@HandleorHandle]

The Parliament/government UK needs to bring in laws to protect the consumers and the public, and more broadly, to protect everyone against this type of criminal activities and fraudulent activities by CEOs, board of directors, managers, fraud investigators, law firms, etc. Laws will make these criminals accountable for their actions in the uk and overseas as they will move their operations abroad to get away with falsifying records to suit their agenda or narrative to criminalise the public !

[@seltaeb3302]

Lets not forget the previous CEO who set in train this terrible prosecutions saga, he's also guilty.

[@iagree5313]

This poor guy is unwell.

I was a postman for 45 years when they privatized they gave us shares but no one was allowed to sell them .Another CON

[@petercanberra9056]

Who is paying the legal expenses involved in your preparation for this hearing Paula? Is the post office bearing the bill as you would argue it related to your employment there?

[@caterinawilliams998]

I think she rather was defending her huge salary pensions bonuses and the thrill of power and control... priceless

[@paulinereid5226]

I don't think she is malignantly, or deliberately deceitful - but she is inept, weak and incompetent, and has totally persuaded herself of the truth of her own delusions. It doesn't matter - either way she is despicable, putting a corporation above individual human beings. And how she can keep bursting into tears - for herself - in front of those poor, persecuted SPM's, is beyond awful.

[@adrianrose7703]

Quite intelligent but absurdly overpromoted she did irreparable damage. What was Welby thinking - perhaps he’s the same.

[@michaelmcginley7930]

So many crodile tears that would fìll the swamps of florida.

[@davefearon1620]

More crocodile tears She knew exactly what was happening But hid and covered up for her benefit

[@jeremygaleRVM]

Still remains an ordained Minister! Amazing!

[@caterinawilliams998]

I think she doesn't know the meaning of ' defending/ saving the brand'... covering up ctimrs is not a way to save a brand but to destroy it

[@michaelmcginley7930]

She is a very unlikable person
