SHAMED Sharon Shoesmith lost an appeal against her sacking over the tragic death of Baby P yesterday.
But the former head of children’s services could still win compensation.
Shoesmith said she had been made a “political scapegoat” after 17-month-old Peter Connelly was tortured to death in August 2007.

She said her sacking by Children’s Secretary Ed Balls from Haringey Council, north London, was a “knee-jerk” reaction.
She lost her £130,000-a-year role in December 2008 amid mounting fury that Peter was left at home to die despite 60 visits from officials.
Mr Justice Foskett told the High Court yesterday the decision “cannot be questioned on grounds of unfairness”.
But he left the door open for Shoesmith, 57, to claim cash from her council bosses, adding: “I have not been satisfied that the procedures at Haringey gave the appearance of fairness.”
Peter’s mum Tracey Connelly, 28, her lover and their lodger were all jailed for their roles in his death.
