Corbyn announces separate ‘eve of conference rally’ after Sultana announced hers
Jeremy Corbyn has announced an ‘eve of conference’ rally to take place in Liverpool from 7-8.30pm on Friday evening next week, the night before the new ‘Your Party’s (YP) conference kicks off in the city.
The announcement comes two days after notional interim ‘co-leader’ Zarah Sultana announced her ‘eve of conference rally’, starting at 8pm, three quarters of a mile away:
YP supporters will be forced to choose between the two supposed co-leaders, after a week of yet more hostile briefings by each camp against the other’s figurehead, instead of a joint event depicting unity, if not personal then at least of purpose before the party’s founding conference.
Skwawkbox wrote two months ago that both Corbyn and Sultana risk destroying their own legacies by allowing those around them to continue the inept, amateurish and utterly avoidable factional farce and open warfare that have blighted YP’s launch, to the disgust of its support base — from the second word of it was breathed. Those fears were partly — only partly — allayed by the pair’s joint appearance in Liverpool last month, but the renewed swipes and smears leaked to hostile media, along with the arguments and threats over finance, quickly took any shine off that.
Now this. With a nation desperate for real change and for leadership that is not up its own backside or the arses of billionaires and racists, there really can be no excuse.

Bang their heads together 🙄
Kicking a dead horse?
Talk about losing voters. Your Party hasn’t chance of succeeding while this tit for tat continues. They are sabotaging it repeatedly.
This is why I have gone from YP to the Greens, splits which hurt the left when the left should be getting together to fight the right, come on show some common sense please.
Hopeless incompetence at even beginning to form a party supposedly of the working class. I’m sticking with the Socialist Equality Party, thanks.
Shilling for the green Trojan Horse..
What a farce.
Labour party mark 2.
Some say they want Corbyn and Sultana to give up and join the greens – no thanks – we do not need their negativity.
I see it’s not going to work it’s bloody disgraceful that they can’t work together without trying to outdo the other
Another shining example of the Thatcherite identity politics of the sovereign individual which ‘brings people together’ by segregating them into smaller and smaller atomised groups in the supposed name of ‘unity’ and ‘solidarity’. Which has undermined class politics and abandoned any materialist and empirical based approach in favour of ‘narrative which rejects as old-fashioned, quaint and uncool all talk of an external reality — independent of our thought processes but in principle accessible by empirical methods.
Rebranding and relabelling something as “left” or “progressive” makes it possible to enforce and get away with any old reactionary policies and behaviours.
Cue the now well-worn cornucopia of self-professed “left-wing” groups/organisations all circling their own individual wagons and insisting their only their analysis and version of the “truth” is adopted whilst denouncing all the other professed “left-wing” groups/organisations as ‘pseudo-left”.
You could not get a better result for the oligarchic establishment if they were running this and pulling the strings with their spycops. And they propably are anyway.
Oh no! Ridiculous and sad…What’s the matter with both of them? As before I suspect they have small coteries egging them on. I DON’T want Camden to get pulled into any of this — organisers please note.
Given the demand to see Jeremy when in liverpool beginning of October then it is no surprise that each leading member will hold meetings seperately because Zarah has as much to say about her take on the direction od Your Party as does Jeremy. I very much doubt they agree entirely because who as a politician would.
All we have to ask is that the meetings keep in mind the most important questions are those of Tony Benns five tests for power. This isn’t a Nuremberg-like gathering of the naive, it is a broad range of left leaning people trying to come up with a viable alyernative to the existing political quagmire, different levels of sophistication will provide challnges for unity. But the one point is anything is better than the old pigs at the tough and worse the old but fascist pigs with turquoise rossettes.
The Party starts here, up until now it is still an idea and whatever the implementation, so long as we see real democracy from the bottom up then we are going somewhere. We have no doubt that there are already spies in our midst, from political parties and the reactionary rump that is the UK establishment.
At least the Socialist Unity Platform is trying to weld the various Left groups together. If there were ever a clearer sign of the need to adopt a collective leadership structure this is it!!
I wouldn’t trust Corbyn’s so called advisors, I think they want top down control not democracy.
