They say opposites attract but the battle brewing between Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn is evidence to the contrary. The pair have become embroiled in a war of words and now Jezza has got the long arm of the law involved.
Last night Corbyn took to Twitter to announce that he was planning to sue Farage. The GB News presenter, he complained, had made ‘a highly defamatory statement’ about the Independent MP, who went on to rage about the ‘disgusting and malicious lies’.
Corbyn’s spokesperson has alleged that Farage accused the former Labour leader of ‘subscribing to an antisemitic conspiracy theory’ on his GB News show on Wednesday 28 February. It appears to all come back to a rather strange Facebook comment left by Corbyn in 2012.
After a Los Angeles-based artist called Mear One announced on social media that a mural he had painted in East London was to be removed, Corbyn publicly questioned why it had to go.
