You missed the best bit, the lawyers closing remarks…. "I thank you for answering some of my questions" and the brutal "so to summarise you feel the rule of law is getting in the way"
As someone who has been involved in disciplinary processes in the civil service/public sector, the person taking the call is ALWAYS in control of the situation. The note taker is told what they can and cannot do prior to the meeting. The note taker has to be announced at the beginning of the call and any recording of the call has to be told to the other person. Badenoch would have to authorise the recording.
In all my public sector meetings, if there is to be a recording it has to be formally announced at the outset of the meeting and the point at which the recording will begin for all those attending. I can hardly imagine that for such an important meeting this would not be the case.
@@stellamariayates3776 That's 'the general theory'. In practice, there are many, many situations where covert recording is perfectly permissible by law:- 1) If you have concerns about care professionals potentially abusing/stealing from your elderly parents in their home/care home/etc? The primary/best evidence would be via covert recording here. Perfectly allowable by any court, as we've seen many times on TV in real cases. 2) Important government interactions such as in this video? Covert recording takes place all the time, in fact, you must assume everything will be recorded if it can be. The person/party making the recording can then, at their choosing/advantage, make a deliberate 'leak'...as we saw here.
This is classic on government ministers without any commercial experience being appointed to take charge of a huge business like the post office. They never learn

@@tomboyle4312 except that she explains precisely that she became aware of the reason afterwards, so perfectly reasonable that she does now know all about it?

But given her track record, I'm not inclined to believe that. Either way, you'll struggle to convince me she's been precise about this
Pompous. Over-confident. Inflated ego. Self-important. No relevant private sector professional or leadership experience. Very well qualified for the new role.
So many Kemi haters on this thread. Everyone can see that Kemi Badenoch was not involved in the appointment of the Post Office Chairman and had no contact with him prior to his dismissal. She did her job when the scandal was brought to her attention and fired the Chairman.

A witness is guilty of perjury if they knowingly make a false statement while under oath in a judicial proceeding. A judicial proceeding includes any proceeding where evidence is heard and examined on oath, such as a public inquiry. But a conviction cannot be based solely on the evidence of a single witness. There must be other evidence that the statement is false. A conviction for perjury in the UK can result in up to seven years in prison.
Perhaps he should have said at the time of asking the questions whether she answered them or not. And get her to answer all the questions rather than some of them. A sarcastic comment doesn't really help the inquiry does it.
Badenoch is so arrogant and so sure of herself. Watching this reaffirms my believe that lying whilst in a public office should be a criminal offence with the only sentence available to the Courts being immediate custody and those convicted should be barred from ever holding another public position
Her command of the issues is really impressive, and I doubt that any other politician would be able to respond so comprehensively. Love the way she makes fun of bureaucracy and the law -- including the committee investigating.
I have to say I struggled to listen as always the patronising, self righteous and condescension overwhelms. I cannot imagine listening to this woman at a social event. It would be an instant must leave and find friends
Mate, imagine the fact that people will now be paying tens of thousands just to get introduced to her or be at the same social event she's at. I'd also rather shove a cactus loofah down my throat than have to bear a minute of company with her, but apparently it's a huge commodity. I'm as puzzled as you are.

They didn't actually go "gotcha!" but all the stuff about the phone call basically is one - it goes against other things she's previously said about it, and she contradicted herself in the course of this clip as well. People are very upset because this is the largest case of a semi-state-run body firing and prosecuting so many people based on flimsy evidence (in this case, the now known to be extremely error-prone accounting software). And here she is, basically saying it's got nothing to do with her despite being in charge of one of the relevant government departments. Instead of the buck stopping with the person in charge, she's throwing her underlings under the bus.
This is an enquiry, not a court of law. The object of the questions is to find out why the Post Office spent 20 years covering up a faulty computer system, and to identify those who should eventually be prosecuted. Combatitiveness and gotcha moments are for the final report and (in theory) the judges when cases do go to court.
As new Tory leader then will she have sight of former deputy PM Nick Clegg File on constituent Ken Simmons whistleblowing event 1 from 1998 to David Blunkett and S Yorks police ?
Having watched this little tyrant perform, Its no wonder Mr beer was exhausted after her 15 minute answers to an expected simple YES or NO question!!!!!!!!!! What WAFFLE !
Yes it’s easy to blame state machinery when you are a proponent of dismantling it and removing safeguards - while simultaneously admonishing yourself of any responsibility for actually moving things forward while in ministerial post
Jason Beer has been very able in his cross-examination over the course of the Inquiry, but Kemi Badenoch got the better of him and his "thank you for answering some of my questions", frankly, was a small minded and inappropriate admission of defeat. If he was unhappy with her answers (and she did go on sometimes) then the remedy was in his hands as examing counsel. By the way, her answer about the interaction of the rule of law and efficiency in administrative decision making was coherent and defensible even if many would not agree with her analysis and solution. Jason Beer's clearly preconceived characterisation of her answer was deaf to what she actually said; he definitely did not have a sound basis to characterise her answer in the way he did. One other thing, the unhidden, resentful prejudice in some of the comments on her evidence is instructive on the state of things in some minds.
Kemi Badenough it the perfect Tory leader living in a world of her own where she is a genius who sees what the rest of us a too stupid to see. Thank god she won't ever be PM
The thing I love about Tory ministers being grilled at inquiries is how blatantly obvious it is that they didn't read a fraction of the key material they were given at any point, don't seem to know anything including about things they were involved in first hand, and basically didn't do their jobs because they were too busy trying to cover their own backs (incompetently). I'm optimistic that certain Tory's are going to get absolutely hung out to dry by the upcoming COVID Corruption Commissioner . . . not that optimistic but one can hope.
Imagine, at your place of work, some money goes missing. You get blamed. If you deny it you are threatened with court resulting in prison. Or if you admit it you just get a suspended sentence or community punishment. So to avoid prison you admit guilt. Over and done with you think. Then your company sues you for court costs because you were found guilty, you owe £350,000 in court costs. Your life ruined. This company is called the Post Office. Their logo is " whatever you need us for, we're here for you". They spent £100 million in expensive lawyers to try to avoid paying £58 million in compensation. The class action saw the incorrectly convicted see £20,000 in compensation after court costs. The executive salaries were between £250,000 and £500,000. Post Office investigators were given bonuses for every Horizon conviction
You could tell that she was getting rattled by the questioning when she said - 'I don't know. I don't take the notes!' Williams might have intervened at that point with a - 'Now, now Ms Badenoch. We'll have no more of that, thank you very much!'
I don’t see Kemi being grilled. She honestly answers questions put to her. Unlike most of the other politicians that have been before this never ending inquiry.
I've always thought she sounds like a cross between Tony Curtis doing Cary Grant in Some Like It Hot, and Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Except, their accents sounded more natural.
I think that she was the one to sanction the Post Office Directors’ payment just for making a contribution to the Inquiry! Really on top of things, eh? Anyone with half a mind to the future would have recognised that you’d need to keep your nose clean with regard to the Post Office. The Inquiry was already underway when she was appointed Secretary of State.

What is strange about the conversation being recorded, it’s not unusual for companies to record conversations when taking to a customer, it’s normal and common for this to happen. But the customer is warned in advance that the conversation will be recorded for trading purposes. I feel that recording a conversation where you are not warned in advance is bad practice.
Badenoch blaming others as usual. In business if a key manager isn't keeping the board up to date the board start chasing as it usually signifies something amiss. Badenoch not doing her job as usual.
Would love to watch this all the way through as I take a keen interest in the PO scandal but I haven't managed it thus far. Just too obnoxious to sit through and she's not going to provide anything useful or indeed truthful so I don't feel like I'm missing much.
I don't want to meet Kemi Badenoch, but I'm sure this guy wanted to have help getting the Post Office back into shape. Labour needs to nationalise the Post Office, bin off the foreign company that provided the Horizon software and turn the Post Office back into something that provides an equal service to British people living in small pokey villages. We can't have everything important run by super-rich capitalists who want to screw money out of everyone.
I have my doubts about Labour firing Fujitsu, given they're one of the only mainframe companies left in the world besides IBM and Blair's Labour worked very hard on building a close relationship with them. Ultimately, Horizon _is_ Blair's failing - but so far Starmer doesn't seem interested in critiquing Blair's other failed policies.
There is little or no value in this blood-letting. We will learn nothing from this review that will prevent anything similar happening in the future. It would be much quicker and cheaper to pardon the post -master/mistresses and adequately compensate them. When you hear the document numbers referred to you realise how much administrative effort and cost it takes to support the review. Just move on.

@Chimm7 🤣 So, spending most of your life in the UK makes you talk with a stupid fake voice? She effing sounds like a female Cary Grant.
Ah, Hindsight & being able to do a Pontius Pilate act.
It's my personal experience that Olukemi Badenoch is ignorant and was incompetent in her ministerial role.
Kemi is so incompetent...
I’m very surprised she was unaware if calls were recorded -I thought there was a legal duty to inform parties that they may be being recorded?
She's now talking compensation for the Post office misdemeanours, yet had 14 years to act, but never did...
Badenoch sacked that guy because he exposed her intention to slow down the compensation to the victims of the scandal she's lying as usual
Would love to watch this all the way through as I take a keen interest in the PO scandal but I haven't managed it thus far. Just too obnoxious to sit through and she's not going to provide anything useful or indeed truthful so I don't feel like I'm missing much.
She has an ego the size of a house
Being recognised as 'Right Honourable', AFAIC, means you don't lie. Just saying.
Her lips are moving. She's probably not telling the whole truth.
tories lies
Ah so she’s busy travelling?…Lazy in other words?
Notice any editing?
Well at least Labour will get another term....with this poor liar as leader of the Tories
I wonder if putting the Business secretary granny glasses back on is for a Clark Kent/Superman type effect...
I was thinking that exact same thing, I thought to myself that Kemi Bad enoch is truly Kentish or kent like .
It's cold tonight
I don't want to meet Kemi Badenoch, but I'm sure this guy wanted to have help getting the Post Office back into shape.
Labour needs to nationalise the Post Office, bin off the foreign company that provided the Horizon software and turn the Post Office back into something that provides an equal service to British people living in small pokey villages. We can't have everything important run by super-rich capitalists who want to screw money out of everyone.
That “Foreign company” employs in excess of 10,000 people in the UK, the vast majority of whom had no involvement in this.
I have my doubts about Labour firing Fujitsu, given they're one of the only mainframe companies left in the world besides IBM and Blair's Labour worked very hard on building a close relationship with them. Ultimately, Horizon _is_ Blair's failing - but so far Starmer doesn't seem interested in critiquing Blair's other failed policies.
It was a labour implemented programme what's it got to do with kemi!? Shouldn't you be asking two tier Kia!??
Jesus fscing questions from the wise men.
There is little or no value in this blood-letting. We will learn nothing from this review that will prevent anything similar happening in the future. It would be much quicker and cheaper to pardon the post -master/mistresses and adequately compensate them. When you hear the document numbers referred to you realise how much administrative effort and cost it takes to support the review. Just move on.
That laugh from her at the end. What is that supposed to mean? Unfortunate time to cut off the clip.
Even out of government the disgusting behaviour continues.
Sickening.
All somebody else’s fault not the the CON servatives 😮
She doesn't know, then she does; doesn't bode well. She'll not last long.
