Post Office hero Bates lands seven-figure Horizon payout.
Sir Alan Bates, who led the fight for justice for victims of the Horizon IT scandal, has had his claim settled by the government more than 20 years after he began campaigning on the issue.
One source suggested that his final settlement may have been worth between £4m and £5m, implying that Sir Alan's claim could have been in the region of £10m, although those figures could not be corroborated on Tuesday morning.
A government spokesperson said: "We pay tribute to Sir Alan Bates for his long record of campaigning on behalf of victims and have now paid out over £1.2bn to more than 9,000 victims.
"We can confirm that Sir Alan's claim has reached the end of the scheme process and been settled."

Police officers involved with the death of Sheku Bayoh ten years ago in Fife have requested a meeting with the first minister following the "collapse" of the probe into the incident.
John Swinney said he was happy to meet with Mr Bayoh's family, who said they felt "totally betrayed" by the criminal justice system following the decision.
But lawyers for the SPF said it was "of deep concern" that a similar invite had not been extended to the officers involved to "reflect parity".

"I remember being scared somebody was going to die… my dad," he says.

It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.

Europeans wholeheartedly embraced Christianity and made it their own.
Whether right or wrong this is what happened.
Islam not so.
It was always introduced through conquest in Europe.

There is a reason why Zach Polanski and Zohran Mamdani are pushed so heavily.
They aren't going to achieve a single one of their promises.
'International Capital' doesn't fear these types, they actively promote them.

It's quite funy watching all the bog standard 'right wing' commentators who say 'how can they vote Mamdani, look at Sadiq Khan etc'.
This is really simple.
New York is now a minority majority city.
People will vote for those that look and sound like them.
Not complicated.

Possibly an unpopular take but the right one.
People talk about Mamdani now and say well New Yorkers used to vote for Giuliani, Cuomo etc.
Yet these guys were not the traditional Anglo/Dutch/German leaders that used to win.
If you look at what was done in the 70's, 80's and early 90's the films were also anti-White yet they would use darker skinned Italians.
Take Karate Kid for example, it doesn't get more blatant than this.
The wise talking Italian kid from New York taking on and defeating the blonde haired blue eyed boys and taking their women.
This was as far as THEY could take it back then whereas now they can just be explicitly anti-White.
Another deeply subversive series of movies was Caddyshack, destroying and infiltrating WASP culture.
Police Academy series as well.
This isn't being anti-Mediterranean people it's just a simple fact they were used by a certain lobby group to soften people up.
Happy to be proven wrong on this.

The man drove some distance between two villages on the island, mowing down several people including a young girl, the mayor of Dolus d'Oléron Thibault Brechkoff said.
He eventually abandoned his vehicle and tried to set fire to it before running away, Brechkoff said.
