I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country.
They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends.
We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.
This is outrageous. Nobody who’s been granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK should have that rescinded unless they abuse that status by committing a crime.
🚨 SUMMARY: What happened with "Your Party" today:
- At 11:11, Zarah Sultana posted a link to sign up for "Your Party" membership. The link is on a different domain from what was previously used on other "Your Party" communications
- The membership fees are £5 a month or £55 a year for regular, or £2.50 a month or £25 annually for concessions
- This was followed by an email to subscribers at 11:17
- Sultana claims that "Your Party" had reached 20,000 members at 13:30
- Jeremy Corbyn and four other MPs released a statement at 14:07, urging supporters not to sign up, cancel direct debits if they have, and stating they are seeking legal advice. Zarah Sultana's name was left off the letter
- Corbyn then also emailed members shortly after with the statement
- PoliticsHome then reported that a "formal split" in Your Party now seems "inevitable", according to several sources
- Zarah Sultana hit back at 14:44, branding "Your Party" as a "sexist boys club", and admits she did not have permission from Corbyn to launch paid memberships earlier. She has now asked Corbyn to meet with her
Zarah Sultana has announced that membership of the new left party hit 20,000 less than three hours after the membership portal opened. However, Jeremy Corbyn has said that the portal is “unauthorised”, in what appears to be a split between the two co-founders.
On Thursday morning shortly after 11am, an email was sent to all https://t.co/UeuZ4jJHoc supporters informing them that the portal to sign up to become a member was now open.
At 1.30pm, Sultana posted on X/Twitter: “We’ve hit 20,000 members! Rightwing bad faith actors are desperate to claim this link is fake. It isn’t. It’s safe and secure!”
Yet at 2.07pm, Corbyn posted an “urgent message to all https://t.co/UeuZ4jJHoc supporters”, stating that the email was “unauthorised”, that legal advice was being taken, and that the “email should be ignored by all supporters”. The message was also signed by Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, Iqbal Mohamed and Shockat Adam – the other four members of the Independent Alliance of MPs.
Sultana responded at 2.44pm, claiming that she had launched the membership portal after “being sidelined by the MPs named in today’s statement”, and “effectively frozen out of the official accounts”.“My sole motivation has been to safeguard the grassroots involvement that is essential to building this party. Unfortunately, I have been subjected to what can only be described as a sexist boys’ club.”
