To think Zarah Sultana should apologise for lying?

I’ve been following the drama going on with ‘Your Party’, and I cannot believe Zarah tried to blame the email regarding her premature payment portal on ‘bad faith right wing actors’ knowing full well it was sent by Jeremy Corbyn.

To me this is quite a serious lie and will discredit her in future when she tries to blame right wing forces again.

AIBU to think she needs to own this and apologise? I’m surprised nobody seems bothered about it. I wasn’t planning on signing up to Your Party but it’s incredibly dishonest.

Why can't you believe it?

Because she clearly thought it would force JC to pretend he hadn’t sent the email. It was not only dishonest but highly manipulative and everyone seems to have completely overlooked it!

You seem to write a lot of posts about Muslims, OP.

What? The fact she’s Muslim (if she is I actually have no clue) has diddly squat to do with this. And doesn’t exempt her from lying.

Just a massively shambolic situation. As if it wasnt hard enough to get voters on side without this.

I fear it won't be the last time there is a public fall out. I like Zarah Sultana and JC but this has egos written all over it.

I wasn’t at all surprised that she accused him of running a sexist boys club, what did she expect? She’s chosen to hitch her wagon to somebody blatantly sexist, and his band of seixst merrymen.

But I have to admit I’m surprised she told such a barefaced crying-wolf lie and none of her followers seem remotely bothered.

She's a silly, self-righteous waste of space who should have moved on from student politics by now.

As is Corbyn, to be fair.

They can't even launch their own party without falling out, but they'll totally be able to run the country 🙄

Haven’t they overlooked it because it’s a fairly irrelevant party that is descending into a total shit show? I mean, the co founder has called it an awful sexist boys’ club while urging people to sign up. It won’t exist with its current leadership for long. I’m not sure many people are interested in further reporting on it.

And as for this discrediting her later on - I think that ship has sailed.

Yes, if she lied she should apologise. But I think it’s the least of their problems.

Maybe I overestimated Your Party’s support as everyone I know seemed excited about it, but you’re right, they’re finished!

I don't know why you're surprised!

That lot are less than student politics. It's all self serving and performative. I've been laughing my head off watching that shambles.

The greens are a true leftwing party of opposition at the moment. They’re the people to get excited about

Nah, they’re still shitting all over women so no vote for me until they get rid of this anti-science lot running the show.

Does anyone care about these people?

I'm not remotely surprised.

She also said recently that Israel had assassinated the Prime Minister of Yemen, which was either a deliberate lie or a really appalling absence of knowledge. They assassinated the self-appointed Prime Minister of the Houthis - a terrorist organisation that has been in armed conflict with the actual Yemeni government for over a decade - a conflict responsible for the starvation of over ten million civilians.

The Prime Minister of Yemen is alive and well, and one might perhaps imagine is not all that upset about his self-styled opponent's demise, albeit somewhat startled to learn from Sultana about his own.

Zarah Sultana MP

In the past few days, Israel has bombed Doha, struck Tunis over the humanitarian flotilla headed to Gaza and assassinated Yemen’s Prime Minister. These are clear violations of international law....
