Labour Party Drops £1.4 Million Legal Action Against Five Ex-Staffers Including Seumas Milne and Karie Murphy
Jun 6, 2024, 06:58 AM
The Labour Party has discontinued its legal claims against five former staff members, including Seumas Milne, Karie Murphy, Georgie Robertson, Harry Hayball, and Laura Murray, who were accused of leaking an internal report. The report, which exposed racist messages and factional hostility towards the previous leadership, led to a costly legal battle that had reached nearly £1.4 million in expenses by October. The decision to drop the case, which involved an antisemitism report, was made on a 'no order as to costs' basis, and the five ex-staffers have welcomed the resolution. This legal dispute had been ongoing for four years and has been described as a significant embarrassment for the party.
