Labour smear tactics start. Paul Flynn, Andrew Cooksey and the forgotten libel case.

Local liar and libel case loser Paul Flynn starts on Andrew Cooksey, a candidate for the Rogerstone ward, was dismissed from Spring Care Centre as care worker in 1997 for rude behaviour. He is backed up in the attack by Newport West Labour AM Rosemary Butler.

Flynn starts on him here

Although it is very strange how he(Flynn) says nothing of his own libel case and having to pay damages to a company that he defamed.

From Flynn's wikipedia page

He agreed to pay out more than £36,000 to settle a libel action brought against him by a complaints handling firm that specialises in endowment mortgages. Flynn's solicitor told the High Court that the MP was retracting allegations he had made against Endowment Justice, a company that works on behalf of borrowers who believe they have been mis-sold endowment-linked mortgages. Endowment Justice launched legal proceedings against Flynn after he criticised the growing number of complaints against handling firms. The company had previously held talks with Flynn over its concerns about bad practices at several complaints handling firms. But Flynn subsequently named Endowment Justice in accusations he made about the whole sector. Flynn agreed to pay Endowment Justice's legal costs of £35,450, plus £1,000 in damages, which the company has said it will donate to the NSPCC.He also agreed to publish an apology on his website.

How nice to see Labour digging the dirt even if it is ten years old whilst ignoring the dire antics of a second rate libel case loser that sees nothing wrong with carrying on as MP after being shown up as a liar.
