"The leftwing Your Party spearheaded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana has had a major split after another independent MP involved, Adnan Hussain, quit because of persistent infighting and a struggle for power in the organisation. The departure of the Blackburn MP, who is secretary of the limited company behind Your Party, is yet another blow after renewed disagreements between Sultana and Corbyn, this time over the handover of membership levies."
"He said: Regrettably, the reality I encountered has been far from this vision. The culture surrounding the party has become dominated by persistent infighting, factional competition and a struggle for power, position and influence rather than a shared commitment to the common good. Instead of openness, cooperation and outward focus, the environment has too often felt toxic, exclusionary and deeply disheartening."
"Hussain was one of four independent MPs who, along with Corbyn, signed a Your Party statement on Thursday night accusing Sultana of unnecessary delay in passing on 850,000 in donations, a move that infuriated Sultana. On Friday afternoon, Hussain said via X he had spent recent months reflecting on his role in an organisation he had believed would be based on a commitment to equality, justice and anti-racism."
Your Party experienced a major split when independent MP Adnan Hussain resigned, citing persistent infighting and a struggle for power. Hussain is secretary of the limited company behind Your Party and left after renewed disagreements between co-leaders Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn, including a dispute over the handover of membership levies. Hussain had joined three other independent MPs and Corbyn in accusing Sultana of delaying the passage of 850,000 in donations. Hussain described the party culture as toxic, exclusionary and dominated by factional competition, and complained of veiled prejudice toward Muslim independent MPs and damaging internal disputes over organisational structure.
