Corbyn Reopens Your Party Memberships, Sets Late-November Liverpool Conference

Corbyn seeks to steady the fledgling movement after a chaotic membership dispute that left governance and logistics under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Jeremy Corbyn launched an official paid membership portal and apologized for recent confusion, urging supporters to move on and become founding members.
  • Your Party scheduled its inaugural conference for 29–30 November in Liverpool, with 13,000 members to be selected by lottery and memberships starting from £5 per month.
  • ACC Liverpool said it was unaware of a booking for those dates, a point contested by a Corbyn spokesperson who said the event was assured to be booked.
  • Zarah Sultana previously promoted an unsanctioned membership drive that prompted legal threats on both sides before she dropped proceedings, and she did not appear in Corbyn’s relaunch video.
  • After advising supporters to cancel direct debits from the earlier disputed portal and referring the issue to the ICO, Corbyn pledged that data and payments processed through the new system will be secure.
