It's Our Party launches, Stockport Socialists For Your Party Propose Way Forward

Here we go, again

Well, here we are. A few days on from all of the fun of the fair. A bunch of self-appointed leaders have failed to even carry us forward to a conference where we can determine our own party. This is grim, surely?

Not at all. There has been a flourishing of the grassroots in Your Party and as a result we’re taking advantage of that. We’re not messing around, it’s simple. We’ve been kept in the dark when it’s come to decisions within Your Party and it all seems a little familiar. A little too Labour-familiar, and we’re frankly not interested in living in the past.

The present is too dangerous for us to be messing around with egos clashing. I am a part of the Stockport Socialists For Your Party, and we’ve already made a motion thanks to our comrade Stephen who has proposed a way out of this mess, so that’s why this has come to exist. We thoroughly recommend you read it, as soon as possible:

A Way Forward for Your Party

An emergency motion drafted from the 18/09/2025 statement of Stockport Socialists For Your Party

This meeting of Your Party supporters notes:

• On the morning of the 18th of September 2025, Zarah Sultana and an email sent to the Your Party distribution list publicly announced the ability to become a member of Your Party, with the ability to set up a monthly or yearly subscription via Direct Debit.
• This was followed with a response by Jeremy Corbyn that stated that “an unauthorised email was sent to all yourparty.uk supporters” and that “legal advice is being taken”
• Zarah Sultana then responded with a statement claiming she has been “sidelined by the MPs named in today’s statement and effectively frozen out of the party accounts”.
• Along with this she characterised a section of those coordinating Your Party in the pre-conference period as a “sexist boy’s club”, who have “treated her appallingly” and “excluded” her. The statement also claimed that the aforementioned “sexist boy’s club” has “refused to allow any other women with voting rights on the Working Group”
• Sultana called in the same statement for “Jeremy to meet with me and and agree to make public all agreed structures, processes and decision making protocols.”
• In a further statement, Your Party announced that “following this morning’s unauthorised email to yourparty.uk supporters, the data controller has reported the matter to the Information Commissioner’s Office.”
• The same statement stated that Zarah “has not been excluded from any discussions”.

This meeting believes:

1. The creation of a mass, democratic and socialist party is the essential task of all socialists.
2. The current breakdown in relations between different sections of pre-conference leadership of Your Party threatens the very existence of the new party, and helps no one.
3. That the process of creating Your Party has up to this point lacked transparency and democratic accountability.
4. That this lack of transparency and democratic accountability from all involved in the pre-conference leadership has to a large extent caused the current breakdown in relations.
5. That open political disagreement is a normal, healthy part of any democratic political party.
6. Rank and file democracy, not in supporting either faction of the group who have organised this party behind closed doors.
7. Nonetheless, the publicising of “all agreed structures, processes and decision making protocols” would represent a major step forward for Your Party.

This meeting therefore urges the national leadership of Your Party to:

1. Have Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn publicly meet to discuss their perspectives for the new party in front of an audience who are free to ask questions.
2. Publish all agreed structures, processes and decision making protocols.
3. Drop all proposed legal action, and request a withdrawal of the complaint to the Information Commissioners Office.
4. Form and then connect together local branches on a democratic basis with data for those who signed up to Your Party handed over.
5. Form a transparent, inclusive and democratic process for writing conference documents and making conference arrangements.
6. Plan for a delegate conference to found the party, pass policy documents and constitution, and elect an accountable and instantly recallable leadership.

And urges all those who are active around Your Party to:

7. Build a national network of Your Party local groups, Your Party caucuses/factions and groups unaffiliated but organising within Your Party, to fight for a new mass socialist party, fighting first for:

   • The creation of a membership structure
   • The creation of official branches

8. To do this irrespective of the outcome of the current breakdown in relations at the top of Your Party.
