If the redundancy was carried out in accordance with current procedures there is no recourse to law. If the procedures were not followed there may be grounds for wrongful dismissal.

Depending on whether Redundancy was conducted according to industry 'norms' or there was FULL consultation with you and/or your Trade Union prior to Redundancies being made. Furthermore, did the company explore with you any possibility of redeployment within the organisation as an alternative to redundancy. If the answer to any of those questions is no, then potentially you have a case for Unfair selection for Redundancy - i.e. Unfair Dismissal at an Employment Tribunal.

If a person is made reduntant this is completely different from being dismissed or, as you say, sacked. While an employer that has made an employee reduntant might take exception to being accused of sacking them, I'm not sure that they would go so far as to sue for slander. However, the person making inaccurate and unfounded allegations might want to clarify the position with the former employer, not least because the former employer might conceivably be contacted for a reference.
Best wishes, J
