| Description | The Labour Party has pulled out of funding former Scottish leader Kezia Dugdale's defence in a defamation case.
The MSP is the subject of a legal claim by Stuart Campbell, who runs pro-independence blog Wings Over Scotland.
The UK Labour Party had previously paid for Ms Dugdale's representation in court, but has now cut this off.
Supporters of Ms Dugdale say she is shocked and angry about the decision, which she heard about through her lawyers on Monday.
Her successor as Scottish leader, Richard Leonard, said he understood that some people were upset with the decision, but said it "will stick". |
