Some bright spark at CCHQ realised it could be weaponised against both Ed Davey (Leader of the Liberal Democrats, and former Post Office minister 2010-2012) and Keir Starmer (Leader of the Labour Party, and former Director of Public Prosecutions 2008-2013).

That the British public is not motivated by a BBC Panorama documentary in 2015 or by ten years of Private Eye coverage or by 15 years of Computer World coverage, but only finally by a dramatization by ITV; says much the same as the fact that politicians believe that people will swallow the mud slinging that the Director of Public Prosecutions or the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business are responsible for private prosecutions pursued by Post Office Ltd itself, not by the CPS and not by a government ministry for (by then privatized) business affairs.
