Given the disasters surrounding the Budget, Your Party should have been thrilled. It’s made their last three months of in-fighting, budgetary arguments and leadership squabbles seem borderline competent.
Yet within moments of these wannabe leaders launching their first conference, the clown car started filling up. First, a load of members were ousted, following rumours that the Socialist Worker Party was planning a disruption. Second, Jeremy Corbyn’s welcome speech ran late. Third, there was no sign of his co-leader, Zarah Sultana. Fourth, it later turned out that Sultana was boycotting her own conference due to, fifth, “faceless bureaucrats” doing the ousting. Your Party was due to be renamed this weekend; it may as well stay thus so that Sultana can yell it at Corbyn.
