Lmao. The leftist purity spiral back out on display.

What a mess; losing all credibility before your party even really exists.
Why does this in fighting always happen with left leaning party’s?
i backed corbyn all the way and will always have an immense amount of respect for him, but his time is clearly over; the left needs to move beyond him, and having his seasoned inability to make the right decisions quickly set the tone for a new party will achieve nothing for the wider left. quite frankly i think it’s time for zarah to just join the greens; there’s a left-wing leader in place there now, an existing party structure, and no real obstacle to further political growth. no sense in eschewing that to try to form a party with corbyn and a bunch of essentially random guys who are right about gaza but otherwise lack any seasoned commitment to the political left
Has a party ever speed ran themselves into the self-implosion phase so quickly?

The Greens basically took the sails out of this party.
For what its worth it really seems like Sultana here went rogue, Corbyns statement has the signed names of the other your party mps.
anyway vote greens, this parties DOA.
I can’t find anything in the article that suggests the “unauthorised email” originated from Sultana so it’s unclear why the headline says he’s threatening to sue her specifically?
Headline also implies that he’s suing her over the sexist boys club comment, which is misleading.
Can we please stop giving these people the time of day and focus on giving Zack Polanski and Gary Stevenson etc more air time instead.
I wouldn’t normally be a fan of the greens but what I’ve seen of Zack so far looks pretty promising and he seems to be prioritising wealth inequality.
This rabble of pro-Gaza labour splinters and student activists are a joke and aren’t worthy of the media attention.
Looks like Sultana thinks this is the ‘my party’ – how long will the ‘your party’ last before they recognise this has been a failed endeavour and abandon a sinking ship?
If they can’t organise a conference, let alone decide on a name – they’ll never be able to govern a country.
She took £1m in unauthorised donations, this can quickly get pretty serious.
Urgh.
As someone who likes Jeremy and Zarah, do not do the exact thing that left wing politics is known for when starting your left wing political party.
It’s really not that difficult.
Pretty clear that this is now dead in the water. Perhaps it’s for the best to get this out of the way now to avoid any fights between greens and YP at the locals and splitting the vote.
If I were more conspiratorially minded I’d be seriously wondering if Corbyn was a very deep cover plant to discredit any popular left wing movement that arises.
The problem with the British left is they always cancel and turn on each other.
Which in turn leads to the far-right filling the gap and running this country into the ground.
Our division only helps our opponents.
We also:
• don’t mobilise people well
• too focused on issues we can’t control (like Gaza) over domestic issues
• we’re not evidence-based enough in our rhetoric. There are **so** many facts/statistics we could use to discredit Reform, yet who’s using them?
• fail to turn outrage into concrete grassroots action like party unity, campaigning, petitioning, voting, and storytelling.
This is why I’ll continue supporting Labour instead of Your Party.
I sympathise with the Lib Dems and Greens, but realistically they’ll only be a junior coalition partner in No. 10.
If you ask 3 economists you will get 4 options, all different.
If you put 2 leftists in a room, you will get 3 political parties, all accusing each other of being counter revolutionary crypto fascists etc…
Holy shit there really isnt a viable leftist option, the UK is so fucked politically. Its just centrists – reform at this point.
Really earning the moniker Fruit & Nut party.
Why would anyone vote for them to run the country if they are already squabbling over the formation of their party
How much evidence do Corbyn-fans need of his inability to lead teams? He’s a disruptor, campaigner and agitator. Not a leader.
Separately… This isn’t the only time he’s been accused of sexism by a prominent woman on the left. If it were someone else being accused the accusations might stick. But I think people are just desperate to think well of him.
So the UK People’s Party is threatening to sue the People’s Party of the UK? Or something like that. This is genuine “you couldn’t make it up” territory! I sometimes wonder if Corbyn might be a long-term undercover agent of capitalism, with a mission to destroy left-wing politics in the UK.
“Alright guys, we need a left-wing alternative to tackle Reform and really get our base mobilised”
“Did you just call us guys?”
There will never be a decent left-of-centre option, will there?
Who the hell would want to vote for this clown show when the Greens will have an almost identical platform?
I see things are going swimmingly!
It feels like Labour was under Corybn already.
Considering the way Hussain waw talking at Sultana, I’m not particularly surprised by tdh sexism allegations.
It seems like Sultana has been the main driving force for this party doing anything, but she needed the name/brand recognition of Corbyn, so keeps forcing his hand. Not exactly the blueprint for a harmonious relationship.
For fuck sake, really not beating the allegations that the left actually can’t do fucking anything.
All of them should resign and fuck off. What a waste.
Corbyn spent years letting people call him racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, gets kicked out the party and does nothing for years…
Zarah Sultana tries to set up a new party with him and he drags his feet. Gets in bed with the most regressive forces in politics. When she pushes forward he THEN having ignored so much threatens legal action.
I am not a fan of Sultana and won’t be interested in YP, but she is in the right and he is an absolute clown.
No one hates the left like the left.
For fuck’s sake, get it together.
Honestly they’re acting like university students trying to decide what to call their political society club.
Both of them just need to bore off to be honest. They do nothing but divide the left and they only appeal to Idles fans who think sharing a Gaza opinion on Instagram is doing something.
