LONDON: An MP has withdrawn from the new left-wing political movement in the UK called Your Party over “infighting” and “veiled prejudice” against Muslim men.
Adnan Hussain, an MP from Blackburn in northern England, made the announcement less than two weeks ahead of the party’s founding conference in Liverpool, amid internal fights over finance and its leadership.
Hussain said he was drawn to Your Party, headed by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Coventry MP Zarah Sultana, to build “a political home with mass appeal” and “a force capable of challenging the rise of far-right rhetoric.”
But, posting a statement on X, he said he was disappointed by the party’s “persistent infighting, factional competition, and a struggle for power, position and influence rather than a shared commitment to the common good.”
After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to step out of the steering process for Your Party.
