‘The Your Party MP said, however, that “fundamentally, we are different parties” It comes after the new movement decided to make the name Your Party permanent at the conclusion of its tense inaugural conference.

Members also voted narrowly against having a single elected leader, opting instead for a collective model that puts a committee of members in charge. Jeremy Corbyn acknowledged there had been “frustrations” in the establishment of the outfit but said “we have come a long way” as he closed the gathering in Liverpool last weekend.

Ms Sultana said it “hasn’t been an easy process” to establish Your Party.

She told the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: “Neither me or Jeremy have ever set up a new party before. We've never designed its structures, and so this hasn't been an easy process.”
