Ex-aides demand Labour retract media statements on sexual harassment case

In leaked letter two female ex-staffers demand party acknowledge they were asked to sign gagging clauses

Two female former Labour staffers have accused the party of making damaging statements to the media about a sexual harassment case, demanding in a leaked letter that the party acknowledge they were asked to sign gagging clauses.

The two former aides have written to the national executive committee (NEC), the party's governing body, asking it to address the allegations at a meeting on Tuesday.
