The multimillionaire Brexit backer Arron Banks has accused Observer and Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr of “doubling down” on allegations she had made about his relationship with Russia since he lost a libel action against her.
Banks was left in a “conundrum” where he was unable to restrain repetition of allegations about him, obtain damages or withdraw allegations made in a Ted Talk even though Cadwalladr had sent a private letter of apology, an appeal on behalf of the businessman was told.
