Sir James Dyson has lost his libel claim against the publisher of the Daily Mirror.

Mr Justice Jay said: “In the present case the claimant cannot demonstrate that he has suffered financial loss as a result of these publications.
“Nor can he show that his philanthropic work, particularly directed to young people and schools, has been harmed in any way.”
The article, by Brian Reade, referred to Sir James as “the vacuum-cleaner tycoon who championed Vote Leave due to the economic opportunities it would bring to British industry before moving his global head office to Singapore”.
Mr Reade continued: “Kids, talk the talk but then screw your country and if anyone complains, tell them to suck it up.”
