Sultana calls in lawyers as row deepens with Corbyn over new party
The Observer
|September 21, 2025
The former Labour MP alleges 'attacks' on her character as group's implosion drives 1,400 supporters to Greens
Zarah Sultana has called in defamation lawyers in the wake of a public row with Jeremy Corbyn over the future of their new political party.
The Coventry South MP said she had been subjected to “baseless attacks on my character” which were “politically motivated”.
“I intend to hold to account those responsible for making them,” she said in a statement posted on social media shortly before midnight on Friday. “To that end, I have this evening instructed specialist defamation lawyers.”
The 31-year-old MP did not say who was responsible for the “number of false and defamatory statements” about her, but her statement also gave justifications for why she had launched a website for people to become members of Your Party — which Corbyn had described as “unauthorised”, telling people to cancel any direct debits they had set up.
