"On Saturday, Your Party cofounder Zarah Sultana said she would skip the first day of the newly formed group's inaugural two-day conference following a serious disagreement over who could attend. After the UK's last general election in 2024, which the Labour Party won in a landslide following 14 years of Conservative Party rule, Corbyn and four other left-leaning independents Shockat Adam, Adnan Hussain, Ayoub Khan and Iqbal Mohamed formed the Independent Alliance,"
"In response, Corbyn stated that anti-Semitism was absolutely abhorrent, but added: The scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. As a result, he was immediately suspended from the party. He was readmitted in 2020, but ultimately left the Labour Party altogether in 2024 after nearly 60 years of membership to become an independent MP."
Your Party was cofounded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana and held an inaugural two-day conference that exposed a leadership rift. Zarah Sultana skipped the first day after a serious disagreement about who could attend the conference. Jeremy Corbyn left the Labour Party in 2024 after a long membership and controversy linked to anti-Jewish racism findings by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Corbyn had been suspended, readmitted in 2020, then became an independent MP. After the 2024 election, Corbyn and four left-leaning independents formed the Independent Alliance with a pro-Palestine position. Corbyn announced the new socialist party with Sultana in late July.
