Collateral waiver has bitten a few. If the contents or the communication aren't confidential it isn't LPP; If he does get sued it's going to be very hard to rely on legal privilege. You can mention you have received legal advice you can even say following legal advice we will ...
But saying "Our legal advice said XXX" put's it out there.
Why would he care? If he reflected truthfully the content of the advice, he would just argue that he had indeed waived privilege. I doubt he has authority to waive privilege, but I’ve no idea how unauthorised waiver works.

Read what a Times leader column has to say about him today. But will he even read it ? (after all, it is not the Guardian, or the Daily Worker).

When I read the linked Guardian article my first thought was that Starmer had settled the libel action to prevent any dirty laundry being aired in court, a smart move to distance the current leadership from the anti-semitism of Corbyn & co.

According to several news sites Corbyn is now being sued by John Ware the Panorama reporter and some of the whistleblowers so there's a chance all the dirty laundry will see the light of day anyway.
That would be such a terrible shame if he were sued, lost and got taken for everything.

We can but hope.... :-)

Can you give us the gist of it?

It's a full page 'think piece'. Basically the author (Philip Collins) headlines it : Time to root out Corbynites once and for all', and goes on to emphasise the point he has made in previous pieces, that it is not only Corbyn, but all his brainless lackeys who need to be ousted and opens his words with : 'The only way to change an institution is to change the management. As long as a toxic leader remains in situ there is no hope that the institution can recover its standing '

Later there is a paragraph which starts with : 'The chaos of the Corbyn leadership is what happens if you take the most stupid person in the building, and put him in charge.Public life can only bear so much stupidity. Bereft of intellectual weight, with nothing much in his head and painfully conscious of the deficiency, Mr Corbyn's options were to lean heavily on unctuous self-righteousness or when that failed, to lash out.'

Later hs comments that : Meanwhile his entourage of sycophants, the Milnes, Murphys and McCluskeys, went out to argue for a man they always regarded as a useful idiot.'

The last sentence of all states : Take away the whip, expel him from the party, and point the way out for his nasty band of facilitators.'

It's a long time since I have read The Times being so direct, so biting, and so utterly determined to get its message across, than this one.

As a rule I would never laugh at somebody suffering such a fate...



















But there's always one exception to the rule... hehe

In another blow for the world's unluckiest anti-racism campaigner, it turns out yet another one of his supporters is an Anti-Semite

Well, let's hope that he loses, is convinced that he has won the argument, therefore refuses to pay and then ends up on "Can't pay we will take it away".

He should be fine with redistribution of his wealth. It's something he's very keen on.

hehe I'm not sure he had that direction of redistribution in mind though.

The real pretty, brainy bird from countdown absolutely went for Corbyn's throat, she hated him with a passion.
She seems to be a self appointed Twitter hall monitor, detecting the faintest whiffs of antisemitism where they don't really exist. The phrase 'persecution complex' springs to mind.

Have you came into the PH world as your previous host is lurching uncomfortable to the right ??
You say "The phrase 'persecution complex' springs to mind." …..
would that include the vile Momentum pile on she suffered during pregnancy??
I think she's entitled to comment on the thousands of twitter comments hoping for death or deformity of her child,
To use Momentum's own words, Momentum was founded in 2015 originally as a movement to support campaign for Jeremy Corbyn election,
and AND yet the world's most unlucky anti-Semite failed (yet again) to at least once say these vile comments aren't done in his name,

Anyway …. excellent victim blaming there 10/10

In all the annual ‘equality awareness’ training that many companies make everyone do as the great box checking exercise, it is made clear that the intent or opinion of the person making a racist remark on whether it is racist or not is not relevant and for good reason.

It seems that antisemitism is the only racism where the victims are attempted to be gaslit by experts on a motoring forum to tell them they didn’t hear any racism and aren’t victims. Try that with any other group and see how much further your career progresses.

Guess you've never checked in on any of the Islamophobia or BLM threads Jake?

Happens everywhere sadly.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that's what he was driving at.
