Alas, a problem in the UK (as distinct from other juristictions like
the USA) is that it may not matter that what you said was
"correct". As has been explained in 'Private Eye" many times; under
the UK (or more strictly, England and Wales) libel laws, what will
primarily be judged is, were the statements "damaging", not, were
they "correct".

No, that's not true. Justification (i.e. the allegation is true) is a
defence against libel in English law. However, for this defence to
succeed you have to be able to prove what that what you wrote is true,
which may be a problem for Private Eye!
