Nearly five months after its dramatic launch, the new left-wing political project founded by Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn has finally settled on a name. Following a vote by its thousands of members, the party will be known as Your Party.
A Conference Beset by Feuds and Boycotts
Senior correspondent Geraldine McKelvie reports from the ground at the fledgling party's inaugural conference. The event has been marked by internal disputes, notable absences, and the high hopes of members who feel let down by the current Labour government. Thousands have joined, seeking a convincing and principled left-wing alternative in British politics.
The conference represents the first major test for the organisation, which aims to channel widespread discontent on the left into a viable electoral force. However, the path has not been smooth, with reports of significant disagreements shaping the party's early days.
Internal Divisions Threaten Unity
Senior political correspondent Peter Walker has been speaking to insiders about the rifts that have characterised the party's first five months. Sources indicate that divisions have emerged, including between the two most prominent figures, Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn.
These internal tensions raise critical questions about strategic direction, policy focus, and leadership. The central challenge for Your Party is whether these early conflicts can be overcome to present a united front to the electorate.
The Road Ahead for Britain's New Left Project
The creation of Your Party stems from a belief among many on the left that the current Labour leadership has abandoned its core principles. The party's foundation is a direct attempt to fill that perceived void.
As the conference continues, the key focus will be on whether the group can move beyond its internal struggles. Success depends on unifying its base, articulating a clear policy platform, and proving it is more than a protest movement. The coming months will be crucial in determining if Your Party can transition from a headline-grabbing launch to a sustainable political entity with genuine influence.
