Jeremy Corbyn is facing potential legal action after he claimed that Labour鈥檚 decision to apologise and pay damages to antisemitism whistleblowers was a 鈥減olitical decision, not a legal one鈥�.

The Labour party agreed to pay damages and apologise to former staff who had criticised the then Labour leader鈥檚 handling of complaints.

The party also issued 鈥渦nreserved鈥� apologies to 麻豆社 broadcaster, John Ware, who presented 麻豆社 Panorama鈥檚 documentary 'Is Labour Anti-Semitic?鈥�.

Party officials alleged that senior figures close to the leadership at the time had interfered in the process of dealing with anti-Semitism complaints. They also claimed they had faced a huge increase in complaints since Jeremy Corbyn became leader in 2015.

Labour leader Keir Starmer made it clear last week that the party is 鈥渦nder new management鈥�. Can the party now move on from its internal war over anti-Semitism?

Emily Maitlis is joined by the claimants鈥� solicitor, Mark Lewis, Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge and former adviser to Jeremy Corbyn, James Mills.
