| Description | Jeremy Corbyn has won an apology and payout from a Tory MP who tweeted the Labour leader had “sold secrets to Communist spies”.
Ben Bradley tweeted “Corbyn sold British secrets to communist spies” on Monday but then deleted it after he was threatened with legal action.
It came amid headlines alleging Corbyn had met a Czech spy in his early days an MP in the late 1980s, over which the Labour leader became embroiled in a fierce fight with the Tories and the right-wing press.
On Saturday, it was announced Bradley had agreed to pay Corbyn’s legal costs and “an undisclosed substantial sum” to charity for the tweet. |
