Re: Sir Keir Starmer elected as new Labour leader

Quote from Metro news: The Labour Party has agreed to pay ‘substantial damages’ to seven former employees and a reporter over ‘defamatory and false allegations’ following a BBC investigation into anti-Semitism.
A formal apology was also issued by Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer. Settlements to both journalist John Ware and the ex-employees are believed to have cost the party between £600,000 and £750,000, with about £200,000 in damages agreed for the eight individuals.
The seven whistleblowers, who worked in the party’s governance and legal unit and were responsible for the investigation of allegations of misconduct, sued Labour after it issued a press release describing them as having ‘personal and political axes to grind’.
The party also accused Mr Ware of conducting a ‘deliberate and malicious misrepresentations designed to mislead the public’ with the July 2019 BBC Panorama investigation entitled: ‘Is Labour Anti-Semitic?’
