Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have fallen out over a membership portal for their new left-wing party. The former Labour leader claims the site was set up without approval, calling it a “false membership system” that collected money and data without authorisation. He confirmed the party has referred the matter to the Information Commissioner’s Office and urged supporters to ignore an earlier email requesting funds and cancel any payments.
Sultana responded by accusing Corbyn of excluding her from official accounts, describing a “sexist boys’ club” inside the party. She said her only aim was to “safeguard grassroots involvement”. Corbyn denied these claims, stating late on Thursday that she had not been “excluded from any discussions”.
The disagreement has raised questions about the new party’s internal dynamics. Supporters are being asked to share their views on the fallout and whether it affects their perception of the party.
