Corbyn admits 'we haven't covered ourselves in glory'
The Independent
|September 25, 2025
Jeremy Corbyn has admitted “we haven’t covered ourselves in glory” after a string of embarrassing setbacks and weeks of bitter infighting at the top of Your Party.
Relaunching its paid-up membership service, the former Labour leader apologised for “the confusion in getting to this point” as he urged backers of the new left-wing outfit to “move on” and sign up as founding members ahead of its first conference in November.
It comes after Mr Corbyn last week said he was seeking legal advice after his party's co-leader, Zarah Sultana, sent an “unauthorised email” from Your Party’s account, inviting its supporters to become paid members, apparently without his backing.
That promoted a furious row between the pair, which saw Ms Sultana claim she had been on the receiving end of “baseless attacks” and announce she had consulted defamation lawyers.

Why is Gen Z so obsessed with 'almost relationships'?
Nothing is as romantic as a relationship that never quite happened. Preserved in possibility, it’s a near-miss dynamic that exists in an exclusively liminal space; you’re not quite together, but there’s enough evidence to suggest that one day, were all the stars to suddenly align, you might be. And so you cling on, wondering, waiting, hoping.
