"We've had some fraught days in the last week, as you will no doubt be very aware. And to be honest, we haven't covered ourselves in glory. But what is most important is this: we all agree about the plans for the conference and the road map to get to it. To all our supporters, I'm sorry for the confusion in getting to this point."
"Last week a bitter public row broke out with fellow MP Zarah Sultana, after she unilaterally launched a membership portal. On Sunday, she was "determined to reconcile", adding that she would no longer be pursuing legal action "despite the baseless and unsubstantiated allegations against me". Sultana had accused Corbyn of overseeing a "sexist boys' club", saying she had been sidelined by him and fellow independent MPs Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, Iqbal Mohammed and Shockat Adam."
Jeremy Corbyn apologised for confusion around the formation of a new left-wing party and announced a fresh membership scheme under the working name Your Party. A public row erupted after MP Zarah Sultana unilaterally launched a membership portal and promoted it on social media. Sultana accused Corbyn of overseeing a "sexist boys' club" and said she had been sidelined by several independent MPs. Corbyn described recent days as fraught and urged supporters to focus on agreed plans for a founding conference and roadmap. Corbyn said unauthorised emails should be ignored and any direct debits cancelled. Sultana said she would not pursue legal action and insisted the portal followed the roadmap with funds to be safeguarded.
