  1. > Andrew Neil has launched libel proceedings against Jennifer Arcuri, the former lover of prime minister Boris Johnson, after she made allegations about the broadcaster’s inclusion in an address book owned by the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

    > Legal filings show Neil has made good on his threat to sue Arcuri after she publicly claimed the journalist was on the “pedo elite train”. The former GB News presenter, who is now hosting a show for Channel 4, said Arcuri’s comments were “evil lies” and “vile and untrue accusations”.

  2. This is probably the first time I have had sympathy for Andrew Neil. Though I wonder if having had a relationship with Boris Johnson you could claim diminished responsibility in a court, if that is applicable in a libel case.

  3. If GB News is any indication, Neil’s judgement is so poor that he may well have been a friend of Epsteins. Who knows? Just because Arcuri is a fucking moron doesn’t mean Neil isn’t dodgy. I await the outcome of this action with interest.

  4. Don’t care for either of them

    Though the book bit is not really news.. this was bought up the other year and his explanation was that it had likely been Maxwell (who managed the list) who put him there as he’d never had any contact with the other thing

    So this is more a “damage to reputation” thing because Arcuri is essentially suggesting he is a nonce
