Ex-staff, including Seumas Milne and Karie Murphy, say they will ‘vigorously defend themselves’ in legal proceedings
Labour is set to accuse five former party staff, including Seumas Milne and Karie Murphy, of leaking a controversial internal report into antisemitism, prompting them to hire lawyers to defend themselves against the claims.
Labour has lodged papers at the high court seeking to place responsibility for the leak on Milne, Murphy, Georgie Robertson, Laura Murray and Harry Hayball, according to lawyers for the five. Carter Ruck said they would “vigorously defend themselves” in legal proceedings and seek full reimbursement for their costs.
