Corbyn and Sultana Reunite to Set Your Party’s Course Toward November Founding Conference

A public truce refocuses the fledgling movement on a late-November founding conference, with membership and data concerns lingering.

Overview

  • Appearing together at The World Transformed in Manchester, Zarah Sultana said the “show is back on the road” after she dropped legal threats over a disputed paid membership launch, and Jeremy Corbyn apologised for recent “fraught days.”
  • Your Party’s founding conference is set for Liverpool on 29–30 November, with leaders urging volunteers to establish local branches, hold monthly public meetings and begin agreeing policy and candidate processes for upcoming elections.
  • The internal row centred on an unauthorised paid membership portal Corbyn called a “false membership system,” which he said he referred to the Information Commissioner’s Office, leaving governance and data-handling questions unresolved.
  • The co-leaders outlined red lines for the platform, with Sultana advocating withdrawal from NATO and both reiterating strong support for trans rights, while pitching a socialist, anti‑imperialist agenda.
  • Organisers and media report hundreds of thousands of pre‑launch sign‑ups, and Green leader Zack Polanski has kept the door open to cooperation as analysts assess whether the project could split left-leaning votes and benefit Reform UK.
