Kemi Badenoch has suggested there could be a wider shake-up at the Post Office over the Horizon scandal and other problems, after she asked its chair to leave at the weekend.

The business secretary said she had needed to intervene as there were “difficulties with the board” at the Post Office when asked about Henry Staunton’s departure.
