"Your Party, the leftwing party steered by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, says it is preparing legal action against a group of its own founders after a final deadline to hand over at least 800,000 in donations passed without payment, the Guardian understands. Figures close to the party accused directors of MoU Operations Ltd (MoU) of having gone rogue, holding supporters' funds to ransom and undermining its founding process despite direct pleas from Jeremy and Zarah."
"Party insiders say they reluctantly agreed to initiate legal proceedings after exhausting every possible alternative to recover the money still held by the directors of MoU. MoU is run by Andrew Feinstein, the anti-apartheid activist who ran as an independent candidate in Keir Starmer's constituency; Jamie Driscoll, the former North of Tyne mayor; and Beth Winter, the former Labour MP for Cynon Valley. The three helped shape the movement's early structure before relations broke down."

The withheld funds threaten the party's first national conference and may force fewer delegates because of limited funds and data.
