Nope they wont have to pay him a penny, unless he can prove something they wrote as "fact" and not "opinion" as being factually incorrect.
Even then if it came from a reliable third party source and could in some way be verified or backed up then the press walk away scott free.
A complaint to the Press Complaints Commission would simply earn him at most a printed apology unless the point in question was deemed to be libelous.
Its great the way the press get away with character assassinations by misquoting people.
