Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana has left ‘Your Party’s founding conference in Liverpool almost as soon as she arrived, boycotting the first day of the conference after the party machine decided yesterday to exclude Socialist Workers Party (SWP) members from membership of the new party.

Sultana said that the move to expel people from the conference was ‘disappointing’ and reminiscent of the witch-hunts conducted by the Labour right under Keir Starmer. She added that this is not what the party is supposed to stand for — as this clip provided by Aron Mafi shows:

Zarah Sultana has further events in Liverpool this evening, but it remains to be seen whether she will be at — or even allowed at — the conference when it resumes tomorrow.
