In Liverpool, Corbyn stated at the conference that the parties must come together and be one because division and division do not serve the interests of the people they want to represent.
A Sultana spokesperson said in protest of one of her supporters’ being denied entry to the event and several others’ party expulsions over alleged far-left membership, that she would not enter the conference hall on Saturday.
People who have traveled from all over the country, spent a lot of money on their train tickets, hotels, and were able to attend this conference have been informed that they have been expelled, she told UK’s Press Association news agency.
“That culture is reminiscent of the Labour Party, and it shows how members were treated disrespectfully on the eve of the conference.”
Since their announcement of the party in July, Corbyn, 76, and Sultana, 32, both former Labour MPs, have engaged in frequent dispute.
The expulsions were defended by a spokesperson for the new party, which is now known as Your Party.
The spokesperson claimed that members of another national political party allegedly endorsed Your Party in violation of the party’s clearly stated membership guidelines.
As British politics fractches into a multiparty system and Labour moves more liberal on some issues, this is the party’s most recent blow to its ability to gain on the left.
Two of the four independent MPs who initially backed the group later resigned due to differences, which included a dispute over a shoddy membership launch and legal threats.
