Corbyn allies pledge support while legal fund donations continue amid reported ‘lawfare’ of former Labour staffers
Hundreds of people attend a speech by Jeremy Corbyn last year
JEREMY CORBYN’S backers continued to voice their firm support for the former Labour leader over the weekend while a fundraiser for his legal fees surpassed £270,000.
The GoFundMe fundraiser, with an initial target of £20,000, was set up earlier this week by supporter Carole Morgan.
It was in response to Mr Corbyn being accused of libel by Panorama journalist John Ware over a 2019 documentary made for the BBC about anti-semitism allegations within the Labour Party.
