Fundraiser for Corbyn's legal fees smashes £20k target at least eight times over

A FUNDRAISER set up to pay for Jeremy Corbyn’s legal fees surpassed £170,000 in a day today, after he was threatened with libel action by a BBC journalist. 

The Islington North MP and former Labour leader is being accused of libel by John Ware, a reporter for documentary series Panorama.

It comes after Mr Corbyn criticised Labour’s “political decision” to apologise to seven former senior party employees and pay them damages, reportedly amounting to £500,000.
