Your Party Crisis Deepens as MP Adnan Hussain Quits, Citing Infighting and ‘Veiled Prejudice’

A funding row over hundreds of thousands in supporter donations has left preparations for a late‑November founding conference in doubt.

Overview

  • Adnan Hussain said he is stepping away from the steering process, condemning a culture of persistent infighting and alleging veiled prejudice toward Muslim men.
  • The Independent Alliance MPs, including Jeremy Corbyn, said only a small portion of supporters’ donations had been transferred and called this insufficient.
  • Zarah Sultana, sole director of MOU Operations Ltd holding roughly £800k–£850k, transferred about £200k and has offered further tranches while retaining funds for liabilities.
  • The Thursday night statement was released minutes before Sultana’s BBC Question Time appearance, prompting her allies to allege sabotage, a claim party sources deny.
  • Organisers say volunteers are operating on a shoestring and the unresolved cash dispute is constraining preparations for the Liverpool founding conference, with leadership rules due to be set for elections in the new year.
