Your Corbyn/Sultana Party - Discussion thread - Part 3

160 replies

Welcome to Part 3 of Mumsnet charting the drama inside Your Party. We have followed YP from the start when it looked liked it might be a major player to its ongoing internal row which has left it struggling.

We have the best and funniest commentary on British hard left wing politics, looking not just at YP itself, but wider issues plaguing the left. Dominated by the problem which weirdly didn't worry Marx, the Chartists, Anarchists, Trade Unionists, even Communist regimes, or much of the long history of left wing feminists, but suddenly in the last ten or so years has become huge. Is Human biology a thing ? Are men in dresses the most oppressed people on the planet even if they are billionaires?

Currently we are looking at Your Party internal elections which have been dominated by the split between the Corbyn and Sultana factions who have different visions of how the party should look. Summarised here:

Your Party? Whose elections?

Sultana's Grassroots Left slate not only added Corbyn without permission but others. It seems they are being denounced for undemocratic manoeuvres.

Fractures amongst Sultana's shadow caucus have opened up

As always the Men in Dresses have outsize importance. The Trans Liberation group are backing the Sultanate Grassroots Left faction, but things as always are messy.

The set up of the YP voting also means there are male and female posts in each region. The non binary types are claiming this is unfair what about them:
Is this trolling? LGBTQIA+ group demand "non-binary" CEC spots
A Your Party clique is infuriated that non-men/women isn't a category for the elections.

There is plenty more crazy to come.

Your Party? Whose elections?

Edited 21.1.26 with updates. Ruth Cashman, a regular writer for Solidarity, was initially banned from standing for the Central Executive Committee of Your Party on grounds that YP rules exclude members of “other national political parties”. She appeale...

Thanks @fromorbit for the news of a discovery of a new fractal splinter group joining, or fracturing, from Your Party in the last posts in the old 2nd thread

And @SionnachRuadh for the information that they are an even more deranged faction with weirder sexual politics than the WRP

Why are their sexual politics bonkers? Because of their support for SWP?

Update.

Sultana actually endorses the green party candidate https://nitter.net/zarahsultana/status/2018741842729177106#m

So the greens are unspeakable BC they made cuts as councillors. But so are Labour, and also the Lib Dems. I mean, so did the Tories. Would YP actually end up endorsing a local Tory candidate in that case? If they're all awful, are they all the same to YP Grassroots Left

Show quote history

She's giving her personal critical support to the Green, yep, will critically swing it her way now.

Hoping for any kind of thoughtful analysis of the world situation from that quarter is asking a bit much, isn't it?

Sultana on the attack against hapless Rachel Millward from the greens for being soft on stopping war spending.

https://nitter.net/zarahsultana/status/2015498160395723195#m

There is something to be said for increasing spend on health, but it's quaintly pointless if there is a glaring gap in national security that means say NHS data could be hacked ( she'd focus on Palantir but seems not to notice the threat from Chinese or Russian malevolent actors).

You'd think she would be aware that the rise in far right content in the UK is often times being generated in Russia or China etc, and that this is maybe a threat to cohesion that she's supposed to be fighting for .? No?
