#AshSarkar's analysis of #ZarahSultana's #YourParty is incisive and concise, tho kinder than my take:
1/ #Sultana tried to hijack YP at the ourset, by unilaterally announcing herself as co-leader. The resulting mistrust was inevitable, and fatal.
2/ Sultana is primarily a revolutionary socialist allied with entryist factions. #Corbyn is a Bennite, seeking a parliamentary path to socialism. I have sympathies with both traditions, but they don't mix. They should not be joined together.
VOTING has started in the election for the leadership of Your Party, the new left party launched by feuding leaders Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana.The party’s 60,000 members – or those of them registered to vote – will choose a 24-person central executive committee, which the party’s founding conference last year determined should be its collective leadership.
That's a great video. I've already posted that I think #YourParty is a dead end. #Sultana should join the #GreenParty
“EXCLUSIVE: Sultana sources allege Corbyn’s slate will overturn Your Party conference decision”
by Maddison Wheeldon in The Canary
“However, most concerning of all, only one slate appears intent to defy the democratic vote of Your Party members – and at this stage it’s firmly not Zarah Sultana’s”

No surprise that the #UK Information Commissioner’s Office (#ICO) sees possible criminal fraud in #ZarahSultana's launch of a #YourParty membership system.
But why has #ICO not directly notified the police? There is great #popcorn potential in #Corbyn having to give evidence against the renegade #Sultana. But crime on this scale should be investigated regardless of internal politics. #ukpol

#CraigMurray | Your Party, and Its Conference
"I am not going to rehearse the history of conflict and infuriating dispute between Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn that led up to the conference. But the continuation of this into the founding conference itself was a petulant betrayal of the good people who are working to put together a new Left party."

It is probably no bad thing that health struggles have delayed my writing up Your Party’s extraordinary Liverpool founding conference. Perspective is definitely helpful to process something unique. Personally, I could not help but be struck by the number of participants who approached me as regular readers of my blog, certainly well into three figures. […]
