    “Members voted in favour of the ‘collective leadership’ option, with a ‘lay’ chair – who cannot be an MP”

    What a ridiculous headline.

    “The shock outcome of the leadership vote at the party’s annual conference in Liverpool came after some challenged Mr Corbyn, a lifelong pro-Palestine campaigner, and accused him of being a “Zionist”, apparently for supporting a two-state solution in the Middle East.”

    This is too funny.

  3. Yes, but will the new leader be from the Sultana faction of the Party or the Corbyn faction?

    Just because these 2 buffoons aren’t standing doesn’t preclude another inevitable run of infighting from the countries least competent Party.

  4. I have to admit I laughed. All that effort only for the membership to vote against having either of them in charge.

    >A second option, for a traditional sole leader, which would have seen Mr Corbyn and former Labour MP Ms Sultana battle it out to lead the new party, was rejected by a narrow margin.

  5. All that’s happened is they’re getting a leader who’s not an MP, like is currently the case with the greens. But I guess the headline is technically accurate.

    I can sympathise with voting for any other option than either Sultana or Corbyn to be leader. There is a list of people I’d be less happy having lead my chosen political party, but its honestly a fairly short one.

    That being said, a collective leadership is just going to be a disaster.

  7. This whole thing is an object lesson in how not to start a new party. What with all the infighting and the easily predictable press hatchet job, they just look completely ridiculous.

    I’m still not convinced that Your Party isn’t a secret project to discredit the British left.

    Corbyn and Zarah wouldn’t even need to be in on it. He’s permanently befuddled and she is a genuine, bona-fide, 100% moron.

  9. I swear this isn’t news and they said this like… months ago, when their conference actually was?

  10. 😂

    Imagine barring your only two MPs from leading your party.

    Full implosion imminent.

  11. Corbyn accused of being a zionist was not on my bingo card. He’ll be going to bed confused tonight.

  12. And just like that the project is over.

    The left now only has a party that wants to disarm all nuclear weapons and pull out of nato.

    And so the omnishambles rolls on another day. Can Corbyn just retire and can Sultana just go back to Labour now, it’s clear neither of them could even run a bath let alone a party.

  14. Honestly Your party has been a great way to filter out all the BS politicians who just play at being “for the people” so all the ones who are genuinely serious can hopefully get themselves together

  15. Why can’t the left in this country be anything other than a laughable shit show? I’d really like a competent left option please.

    At least Zarah Sultana has proved herself utterly incapable of any sort of political credibility or authority. So that’s one positive.

  17. IlliterateNonsense on

    The irony of the Gay Trans Islamist Communist Party having an identity crisis

  18. Banning the most popular representatives of your party from leadership is peak comedy. Keep it coming!

  19. That’s actually hilarious. I love how the YP membership are just flat out punishing Corbyn and Sultana for their childish bullshit over the past few months.

    I hear there’s a South American unity candidate that’s just retired from office who may be available.

  21. There’s a socialist with leadership experience who has just become unemployed who might be able to do the job…

    Hilarious that this will probably poison their careers more than anything they’d done prior, I actually agree with a lot of their politics but this whole thing with the “your party” saga unfolding via social media callouts in politician language has been absolutely fucking pathetic to watch unfold.

  23. Every time I read this group’s name I think, “Who’s party? Not my party”. Not because I don’t agree with their standings, but becuase of their utterly ridiculous name.

    Apart from that, or maybe including it, they’re like a teenage who paints their bedroom black and hangs posters of Che Guevara without really knowing who he is, just to be “rebelious”. Wanking around, making noise, but ultimately changing nothing.

    Ok, hear me out here. Now if the country takes a collective leave of its senses and we vote this shower of clowns into power, who will be Prime Minister? Will it be all of them? Some of them, with this collective leadership?

    I’m somewhat befuddled here.

  25. This just proves how utterly gutless Corbyn actually would have been as a leader. The fact is that he let Sultana rob his party out from underneath him, which led to this turn of events.

    He’s a weak leader, when push comes to shove he just falls over.

  26. Me, a massive lefty “damn we really need a good definitively left wing party in the UK”

    Mr bad at running parties guy:

  27. I’m convinced that these two are actually right wing plants, perfectly enacting a plan to split the left vote in as unelectable a way possible 

  28. Honestly, Your Party just needs to pack it up. It’s been an absolute joke from the moment it started.

  29. These are the far left equivalents of Reform activists. Just crazy ideologues who are zealously on the lookout for any drops in ideological purity. Purge the impure! S/

  30. Corbyn being labelled a zionist was definitely not something I ever thought I’d read

  31. Zarah is just an absolute clown and I really can’t stand her, just look at some of the absolute dumbass tweets she has posted on her Instagram today. She wants to abolish the monarchy without realising she is the queen of the tankies.
