Zarah Sultana Drops Legal Threat in Feud With Jeremy Corbyn Over Party Membership System

The reversal is presented as a good-faith effort to de-escalate a sign-up dispute that has shaken supporter morale.

Overview

  • Sultana said she will not pursue legal proceedings, calling the decision an act of good faith made for the sake of the party.
  • She stated she is in talks with Jeremy Corbyn and pledged to seek reconciliation while expressing respect for him.
  • The move follows Corbyn’s description of a membership sign-up email as unauthorised and his warning to supporters not to use the link.
  • Party officials said they self-referred to the UK data watchdog and alleged a false membership system had been launched unilaterally.
  • Sultana has alleged she was sidelined by Corbyn and allies and described a “sexist boys’ club,” while claiming more than 750,000 supporters have signed up.
