Jeremy Corbyn's new left-wing party, "Your Party," faced internal conflict at its inaugural conference in Liverpool on November 29, 2025. Cofounder Zarah Sultana boycotted the first day in protest of the expulsion of some members and the denial of entry to one of her supporters. These expulsions were allegedly due to the members' affiliation with the Socialist Workers Party. Corbyn had urged unity at the conference, hoping to establish the party as a viable alternative to the Labour Party. However, Sultana criticized the expulsions as reminiscent of Labour's past "witch hunts," highlighting the ongoing disputes between her and Corbyn since the party's formation in July. The incident underscores the challenges facing the new party in achieving cohesion and establishing itself as a credible political force.
