"The High Court has ruled in my defamation case against Graham Linehan, finding that the statements he published were defamatory at common law. Huge thanks to my legal team for their support throughout this process. You can read the full judgment here:

caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/kb/2025/228"

Hopefully IMO this judgement along with the UK's Online Safety Bill should send a message and clear up any ambiguity that unfounded accusations made against gay or trans people may be defamation with legal consequences, and that platforms now have legal responsibility over the content they publish.

The link above won't be clickable because it thinks the end quote is part of it. Try this one instead:
