Brand told jurors he couldn't find anyone to give evidence on his behalf after 'devastating' Dispatches documentary

Earlier, Brand told the court that he had struggled to find anyone to give evidence on his behalf, saying the consequences of the September 2023 investigation by the Sunday Times, Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches were “devastating”.

His barrister, Ian White, asked: “Were you able to persuade a single person with relevant evidence to give to come to give evidence on your behalf?”

Brand said: “I have not.”

Winter asked: “Would they touch you with a barge pole?”

Brand said: “No.”

Brand later told the court he did not consider the Dispatches investigation a documentary, saying: “I call it a TV show.”
