It gets worse for the Sheridans

It's amazing what a libel victory can do for you.

In Tommy Sheridan's case, he won his case against the News of the World, but since then his political party has imploded, he and his wife now face the possibility of another court case and perjury charges and now his wife has to face allegations of theft.

In many ways it would have been better for the News of The World to make it's allegations regarding his sex life and just accept it because everything he has done since has done more to damage his politics and his reputation than the original allegation did in the first place.
