Labour has stumped up a reported £2million after settling claims brought by 20 people featured in a leaked internal document about anti-Semitism in the party.
The cases have been settled after the group of mainly ex-employees took action over alleged defamation or the unauthorised use of personal data.
Subsequent payouts will total just under £1million but, with Labour paying both sides' legal fees, the overall bill will be close to £2million, according to The Guardian.
The controversial 860-page document was produced under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of Labour and contained private email and WhatsApp messages.
The report claimed factional hostility towards Mr Corbyn hampered Labour's efforts to tackle anti-Semitism during his leadership.
