Rachel Riley has been awarded £50,000 in damages by a High Court judge after suing a political blogger for libel over an article alleging she was a “serial abuser” and had bullied a teenager.
Ms Riley, who appears on the Channel 4 show Countdown, sued Mike Sivier after he published an article on his website Vox Political in January 2019 with the headline “Serial abuser Rachel Riley to receive ‘extra protection’ – on grounds that she is receiving abuse”.
