A guest on BBC Breakfast broke down in tears during a March 4, 2026, broadcast while sharing her father’s story: Tom Millward, a sub postmaster wrongfully convicted in the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, had his conviction officially quashed eight years after his death. The emotional segment highlighted the ongoing impact of the scandal, which falsely accused hundreds of postmasters due to flawed IT systems.
