Your Party in Crisis: Independent MP Iqbal Mohamed has walked out of the fledgling left-wing outfit co-founded by Jeremy Corbyn, blaming “false allegations and smears” for his dramatic exit. This is the second high-profile MP to dump the party in two weeks, throwing fresh doubt on the group’s survival ahead of its crucial November conference.
Second MP Quits as Turmoil Deepens
Mohamed, the Dewsbury and Batley MP, quit Your Party on November 21, 2025, just days after Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain’s resignation. Hussain slammed the party for a “toxic culture” targeting “Muslim men.” Now only three MPs remain in the Independent Alliance: Jeremy Corbyn, Shockat Adam, and Ayoub Khan.
Mohamed called the accusations “surprising and disappointing,” claiming they’ve been made without any evidence. He insisted he acted “professionally, patiently, and in good faith” and vowed to keep backing causes like Gaza and social justice alongside ex-colleagues.
Your Party’s Rocky Road to Nowhere
- Launched in July 2025 by Corbyn, Sultana, and four pro-Gaza independents as a “genuine, inclusive force for positive change.”
- Early drama over £800,000 in donations and Sultana’s controversial membership portal caused legal threats and her exit from the Independent Alliance in September.
- Recent resignations underline deep faction fights and culture wars still tearing the party apart.
Support Tanks as Internal Feuds Boil Over
Your Party aimed for 10,000 members by November’s liverpool/" title="Liverpool" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Liverpool conference but fell short, hitting just 5,000—nowhere near the Greens’ 50,000 and 12% poll rating.
Post-2024 Labour woes opened a door Your Party tried to squeeze through, targeting critics of foreign policy and NHS privatisation. Yet bitter ideological splits—especially over Sultana’s exclusion of “socially conservative views”—alienated many Muslim MPs.
Corbyn remains tight-lipped, blaming “media smears.” But rivals are not holding back. Reform UK’s Nigel Farage sneered: “Left implodes—good riddance.” Labour’s Health Secretary Wes Streeting quipped, “Corbyn’s circus folds.”
What’s Next for Your Party?
The November 29 conference in Liverpool is make-or-break. Delegates will pick a new party name—possibly “People’s Party”—and settle leadership. But with Hussain and Mohamed now sitting fully independent, Corbyn’s trio face a tough fight to steady the sinking ship before May’s local elections.
Co-founder Sultana calls for “unity,” but two defections so close together darken the party’s launch hopes. Can Your Party survive its chaotic birth and rally beyond fractured founders? The coming months will tell.
