There is past precedent. The exact words "con man" have been found to be defamatory in another post-election libel case. My professional advice if one of the party's was my client? The odds are overwhelming that a jury will find these words to mean "confidence trickster" and defamatory. Unless it can be justified (i.e. proved to be true) the damages will be thousands.

As candidate, she is publishing this undoubted libel . I am sure my learned friend Mr Timpson is above it, sadly. I would love to see her under cross-examination by someone better than the hapless journo who could only get her to admit that "The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister".
