High court: Sally Bercow's Lord McAlpine tweet was libel
"The High Court has ruled that a tweet by Sally Bercow about Lord McAlpine was libellous.
A subsequent hearing will determine the damages she now owes him.
Mrs Bercow, the wife of Commons Speaker John Bercow, published a tweet two days after a BBC Newsnight programme had wrongly implicated a "leading Conservative politician" in sex abuse.
Amid widespread speculation about his identity, she wrote: "Why is Lord McAlpine trending. *innocent face*.""
