Your Party conference thrown into chaos as Zarah Sultana boycotts first day

Zarah Sultana has boycotted the first day of Your Party's inaugural conference, causing chaos among delegates. The boycott is reportedly due to disagreements with co-founder Jeremy Corbyn over party leadership and governance. Corbyn prefers a single leader, while Sultana supports collective leadership. A spokesperson for Sultana stated that she would not enter the conference hall in solidarity with delegates who were expelled from other left-wing parties, describing the process as a "witch-hunt". The party's Liverpool conference will decide between electing a sole leader or a collective of lay members. Sultana is expected to run against Corbyn if members choose to elect a single leader, according to sources close to the party.
