Overview

• Labour dropped its lawsuit against five ex-staffers, including Seumas Milne and Karie Murphy, accused of leaking an antisemitism report.
• The legal action, which has cost the party millions, was seen as politically motivated by many within Labour.
• The decision to halt the lawsuit came after prolonged internal strife and financial concerns over the party's election funds.
• The Forde report, commissioned to investigate the leak, highlighted factionalism within Labour and criticized both Corbyn's supporters and opponents.
• Labour's move to discontinue the case has been welcomed by the accused but criticized by some party members as a waste of resources.
