Overview
- Zarah Sultana told BBC’s Political Thinking that the movement she launched after quitting Labour aims to win state power rather than act as a protest group.
- The organisation is using the holding name Your Party, with members set to choose a formal name at a founding conference in Liverpool next month.
- Sultana described a 10–40 year effort focused on nationalisation, building council homes and creating secure jobs as core policy goals.
- The fledgling party has been rocked by governance disputes, including board resignations at MoU Operations Ltd that left Sultana as sole director and a public row with co-founder Jeremy Corbyn that the pair say is now resolved.
- Reports say the party is pursuing legal action to recover at least £800,000 in donations, and Sultana also labelled Reform UK leader Nigel Farage a fascist, prompting a sharp rebuttal from the party.
