Poor Danny Blanchflower. Gordon Brown’s favourite former appointee to the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee has proved he knows as much about libel law as he does about predicting unemployment:

@ben4ipswich you continue to commit libel but i just put it down to you being a) so thick you don't understand English b) a gutless moron

Unfortunately for derpy Danny, Tory MP Ben Gummer’s tweet was not libellous, because Blanchflower did say it:

Blithering fool.
