Your Party co-founder Zarah Sultana refuses to enter group's conference hall
Zarah Sultana boycotts conference opening to protest expulsions of left-wing members, calling it an indefensible witch hunt amid ongoing party governance disputes.
- On November 29, 2025 Zarah Sultana, MP for Coventry South and co‑founder of Your Party, refused to enter the party's main conference centre in Liverpool on Saturday, calling expulsions a "witch hunt".
- Members were expelled on Friday after alleged Socialist Workers Party membership, linked to Your Party rules prohibiting dual membership, sparking a row before the conference.
- A spokeswoman for Zarah Sultana said: 'Zarah met members outside the conference and condemned the recent expulsions. This witch hunt is indefensible. We must build a party that welcomes all socialists. She will not be entering the conference hall today' and will not return until tomorrow.
- It is believed one of her supporters, Kingston councillor James Giles, was denied entry to the conference centre, and the pair appeared at separate events on the eve of the gathering.
- With leadership tensions evident, Sultana's refusal to enter the conference hall comes amid a feud over party funds and clashes with Jeremy Corbyn, who acknowledged 'stresses and strains' but said recent days had improved.
