Corbyn Not Invited to Sultana’s Rally as Her Your Party Conference Slot Is in Doubt

Organisers are weighing whether she can speak at the Liverpool conference after a referral to the standards watchdog over funds and data.

Overview

  • Jeremy Corbyn’s office said he was not invited to and was unaware of Zarah Sultana’s 28 November Liverpool rally, which is not an official Your Party event and sells tickets via her Action Network page.
  • Conference organisers are considering preventing Sultana from addressing delegates at the 29–30 November gathering, with the final programme still unsettled.
  • Sultana has been referred to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards over her handling of finances and membership data, and she said she is confident she acted in good faith.
  • Coverage reports a wider financial dispute over funds and data controlled by MOU Operations Ltd, with about £1.3 million cited in reports and Sultana agreeing to return more than £500,000 in tranches after costs while facing accusations of withholding donations.
  • Members are set to vote on a proposed single-leader model at the conference as the internal fight intensifies, with the Green Party’s recent polling gains adding pressure on Your Party.
