Your Party Faces internal Dispute Over Donation Funds
LIVERPOOL – A dispute has erupted within the newly formed Your Party over hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations,pitting leader Sam Sultana against former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn and his allies. The conflict centers on control and disbursement of funds ahead of the party’s inaugural national conference later this month.
The disagreement stems from differing visions for the party’s direction and financial stability. Sultana’s camp seeks to secure funds before the Liverpool conference to ensure the event isn’t scaled back due to financial constraints, while Corbyn supporters reportedly beleive he is the only figure with the national profile to effectively lead the new political vehicle. The party is scheduled to approve a draft constitution and elect a 21-member executive at the conference.
Sources indicate Your Party advisors are attempting to transfer funds to the party before the end of the month. The row has been ongoing since Sultana announced her resignation from the Labour Party in July to co-found Your Party alongside Corbyn.
The announcement of the new party was met with resistance from Corbyn’s existing support base, who argued his public recognition was essential for the party’s success. Tho, Sultana’s supporters highlight her strong appeal to younger left-leaning voters and her meaningful online presence – she currently has nearly 490,000 TikTok followers, compared to Corbyn’s 280,000.
Your Party is now reportedly preparing to launch legal action against three of its founders, according to sources. The internal conflict raises questions about the party’s stability and its ability to present a united front as it prepares for its frist major event.
