It is easy to mock the new party launched in a struggle between its joint figureheads, but that is no reason to pass up the chance. It takes a special skill for one figurehead (Zarah Sultana) to announce the founding of a new party only for the other figurehead (Jeremy Corbyn) to deny, a day later, that it had happened (“discussions are ongoing”).
Then, when Corbyn, three weeks later, announced that it was indeed “time for a new kind of political party”, which appeared to be called Your Party because that was the name of the website, Sultana snapped on social media: “It’s not called Your Party!”
