"After almost eight months of public spats, rows over money, accusations of sexism and rifts over policy and direction, Your Party is hoping to turn a page on the manifold misfortunes that have beset it since its launch last year. The future of the party lies in the balance, said one Corbyn-allied insider. You have two fundamentally differing visions of the party and what it is for."
"Jeremy Corbyn was ready to lay out his vision for the leftwing party, before elections to decide who would lead it. Corbyn started speaking and then the power cut out. Lit by phone torches, the MP for Islington North, who formed the socialist Your Party with Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana last summer, ploughed on. But when the floor was opened to questions, he was grilled by a supporter of Sultana."
"In a video taken at the event, one voice rang out. Anyone that's chosen can speak, it declared. Anyone else I will fucking throw out. In the same city two days later, footage was taken of Your Party members confronting Sultana to complain they had not been let into an event she was speaking at."
Your Party, a leftwing organization established by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, is concluding its leadership election on Thursday after months of internal turmoil. The party has experienced public disputes, financial disagreements, sexism accusations, and policy conflicts since its launch. Two competing visions for the party's future have emerged, creating significant rifts among members. Recent incidents at party events in Cambridge demonstrate the escalating tensions, including confrontations between supporters of different factions and disputes over member access and participation. The election for the central executive committee represents a critical moment for the party's future direction and unity.
