Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has announced he will take legal action against Nigel Farage over a 'highly defamatory statement' made on GB News, which Corbyn describes as 'defamatory' and related to accusations of antisemitism. The legal dispute stems from comments made by Farage, a right-wing commentator, in which he accused Corbyn of subscribing to an antisemitic conspiracy theory, tagged as #ItWasAScam. Corbyn has instructed his lawyers to begin the legal proceedings, accusing Farage of spreading 'disgusting and malicious lies.' The specific details of the statement in question have not been disclosed, but it has sparked significant controversy and led to Corbyn's decision to sue for libel.
