An hour from now, Zarah Sultana will be on Question Time. About 20 minutes ago, Your Party tweeted the following:
Statement from the Independent Alliance of MPs
Your Party’s founding purpose is to stand for the many against the few who hold the wealth and power in our country. Thousands of ordinary people have given their time and money to build a real alternative to endless cuts and endless war.
A dedicated team of volunteers has been working on a shoestring budget to deliver a founding conference at the end of the month. Their efforts are heroic, but without funding Your Party’s capacity has been severely restricted. Hundreds of thousands of pounds were donated to the party by supporters in good faith, but have since remained beyond its reach. This has been extremely frustrating and disheartening.
A small portion of these funds was today transferred to Your Party. This is insufficient. We will continue to pursue the immediate transfer of all the money that was donated by supporters to get a new party off the ground, alongside a resolution to outstanding legal issues.
Building a democratic party from the ground up was never going to be smooth sailing. Some of the difficulties we have faced were inevitable, but others were deliberate acts.
Our focus remains on delivering a historic founding conference, so we can turn outward to offer a popular alternative based on public ownership, wealth taxes and solidarity. There’s no time to lose.
Shockat Adam MP
Jeremy Corbyn MP
Adnan Hussain MP
Ayoub Khan MP
Iqbal Mohamed MP
Hussain is a solicitor, Khan is a barrister, and Corbyn is a Privy Counsellor, so this is not going to go away.
Why was Sultana on Question Time instead of someone who wasn't elected as a Labour MP?
ReplyDeleteDanny Kruger was also on. They are both still in the club. And in 2029, Kruger will still in the House. Not so Sultana. While the others are all projected to hold the seats that they won against Labour, Labour is projected to take back Coventry South even next time.
