The tragicomedy of the UK's #YourParty continues to simultaneously generate tears of despair and howls of laughter. Factional ineptitude again.

The overwhelmingly-English UK leadership has refused to allow the Scottish leadership to contact Scottish members. Yes, really. Classic London party colonial treatment of the jocks.

So the leaders of #YourPartyScotland have resigned en masse, pledging to establish another new party.😅🤣

@2legged I think it's to do with the SWP capture of the Scottish Party.

@Pamela1960 a pal from Leeds told me last night that the SWP had captured Leeds YP (and possibly the rest of West Yorkshire). He and his Corbynite pals had been cut off from YP comms channels on Sunday,

@2legged I knew this would happen when their conference agreed to allow membership of more than one political party. This was about Sultana trying to gain control.

@Pamela1960 Absolutely. Sultana is a persistently self-indulgent saboteur, and has been ever since her unagreed announcement last summer.

It's a pity that Corbyn is so conflict-averse. A tougher person would have headed off a lot of trouble just by shunning Sultana after that slimy stunt.

@2legged Exactly. Some of us new there was going to be a quiet launch early this year. Sultana went much too early, and called herself co-leader without agreement from anybody, and iit was obvious that she wanted the leadership. But she didn't get it. It was Corbyn that was the person people supported and initially it would have been him that got people to support the new party. Sultana is a nobody who thought the bandwagon would switch to her. Makes me think she was a 5th columnist from LINO.

@Pamela1960 I don't think the Sultana is a LINO fifth columnist. I think she is a direct subsidiary of 5, tho she may not be aware of it.
