Your Party, the new left-wing party founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, held its first conference in Liverpool where members voted to make "Your Party" the permanent name. The conference revealed internal divisions, including a protest by Sultana over the expulsion of Socialist Workers Party members. Members narrowly approved a new member-led executive, a decision that averted a leadership contest between Corbyn and Sultana, though the party will review leadership options in two years. Corbyn appealed for unity amidst frustrations, while Sultana expressed regret for issues during the party's formation. The party's executive will conduct a review into different options, leaving the possibility that in two years’ time a more traditional leadership structure will be in place before the general election.
