The SNP have been accused of "showing little interest" in the Horizon Post Office scandal before the TV show aired after two senior MPs ignored one victim of the scandal. Deidre Brock and Ian Blackford failed to respond to one of those represented in the court battle against the Post Office, as dramatised in the ITV drama, Mr Bate Vs the Post Office. Earlier this month, John Swinney boasted that SNP MPs like Marion Fellows had "fought to get justice" for them. A tweet from the party's official account read: "Years before it hit the headlines, SNP MP @marionfellows was fighting for justice for subpostmasters and mistresses whose lives were devastated by the Post Office Horizon scandal. “Wrongly-convicted Post Office workers have been fighting for justice for years and Scottish Labour welcomes the long overdue legislation to exonerate them.
