Our thanks to Mike P for this. The woman who made the false allegations against John Hemming had the support of Tom Watson, Labour deputy leader. The headline is somewhat disingenuous with respect to Hemming winning libel damages from the woman. From the article (the judge was a woman):
She ruled that he was entitled to damages – to be assessed later – on his claim against Miss Baker, a betting shop worker recently made bankrupt. She represented herself in court.
I don’t suppose Hemming will ever get more than minimal “damages”, if anything.
Hemming lost his Yardley seat to the odious Jess Phillips in 2015.
