The nascent political movement, Your Party, has been thrown into turmoil following the dramatic resignation of MP Adnan Hussain from its steering committee.
A Party in Peril
Adnan Hussain, an independent MP, announced his departure on Friday 14 November 2025, delivering a significant blow to the party's stability. His exit comes a mere two weeks before Your Party's founding conference is scheduled to be held in Liverpool.
Reasons for the Resignation
In a powerful statement, Hussain did not hold back, citing "veiled prejudice" against Muslim men as a primary reason for his withdrawal. He expressed profound concern about the treatment of "certain figures" within the party's ranks, noting that the rhetoric used was disturbingly similar to that of the forces the left traditionally opposes.
Beyond the issue of prejudice, Hussain pointed to a toxic culture of "persistent infighting, factional competition, and a struggle for power" as crippling the project from within. This internal chaos has reportedly included disputes over leadership, financing, and the recent membership launch.
The Fallout and Future
Your Party, which counts former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and MP Zarah Sultana among its key backers, now faces a critical test of its viability. Hussain's public airing of these deep-seated problems so close to its official launch raises serious questions about the party's unity and its ability to present a coherent alternative to the electorate. The incident underscores the challenges of building a new political force from the ground up.
