Overview
- Independent MP Adnan Hussain quit the Your Party steering process, citing a toxic culture and what he called veiled prejudice toward Muslim men, while remaining in Parliament as an Independent and in the Independent Alliance group.
- The Independent Alliance said only a small portion of donations had been received and called the partial £200,000 transfer insufficient, pledging to pursue the immediate release of all supporter money.
- Zarah Sultana, now sole director of MOU Operations Ltd, said she sent an initial £200,000 on 12 November and will transfer remaining funds once company costs and liabilities are settled, having offered £600,000 in instalments.
- Party officials say roughly £800,000–£850,000 is needed, with volunteers trying to deliver a late-November founding conference in Liverpool but reporting severely restricted capacity without full access to funds.
- Allies of Sultana questioned the timing of the Alliance’s statement shortly before her BBC Question Time appearance, a claim party sources dispute as they deny any coordinated attempt to undermine her.
