Countdown presenter is suing Laura Murray over tweet in which she was called ‘dangerous’ and ‘stupid’
The Countdown presenter Rachel Riley has told a high court judge that a tweet by an aide of the then Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, seriously harmed her reputation and led to a concerted campaign to get her fired.
Riley is suing Laura Murray over the tweet, posted a short time after Corbyn was hit by eggs thrown by a Brexit supporter during a visit to Finsbury Park mosque on 3 March 2019; the attacker was later jailed for 28 days for assault.
