I gather that Tom Watson has consulted Carter-Ruck. One interesting point made in Guido's comments is that the letter from C-R only mentions that Watson had knowledge of the emails not whether Watson knew anything about the smears - a very different thing altogether for the simple reason that Watson inhabited the same office as the disgraced McBride and could well have been involved in conversations (yes that oldest means of human communication - speech) with the person sitting next to him.
Watson must be extremely careful not to cause even more damage to Labour - and I hope that the Mail responds with "Arkell v Pressdram (1971)"
