"Ms Collins faces an estimated bill for costs of £196,000. She was ordered to make an interim payment of £120,000.
That sum, plus the total of £162,000 damages, must be paid within 21 days"


My goodness !.....That is an awful lot of money....do you think Farage will be willing to help out here ?

Blimey! Very costly!

Incidentally, if she hadn't been named I would have said it was Vera Duckworth.

She is paid £83K a year. So she can afford to pay them back in 3 years. Except she has been successful in ending her job in 2 years. I guess she will have to pay the rest with her own money instead of our taxpayers money.

Lots of money and very little time.

I thought she reminded me of an older Julie Christie !

Politicians are like us on here - they get carried away and sometimes say things they shouldn't.

The difference here is - no-one libels anyone else, and no-one would ever stoop so low as to try and make capital out of the issues of child abuse being dealt with - as this woman did.

She is a disgrace.

Isn't that a younger Neil Kinnock 3rd from left , in the second three photos ?

[Bazile]

perhaps she can get a crowd funding thingy going to help with her costs .
What happens if she can't pay - does she get banged up ?

[mikey4444]

Eventually Bazile !

@SadPuffin: Yes, "the cost of truth"

How could they not have known about it. Three Labour MP's from the abuse of children on their watch
