Jeremy Corbyn has insisted that Your Party is united after a turbulent first few months marred by infighting and division with his co-leader, Zarah Sultana.
Speaking at the party’s first conference in Liverpool, he said the party had now come together “because division and disunity will not serve the interests of the people that we want to represent”.
The former Labour leader said: “Last night here in Liverpool, we had a number of events on and Zarah (Sultana) spoke at a great rally, and I very happily and proudly sent a message to that rally – and I was grateful that it was read out to that rally – of support and solidarity.
“I was at a poetry and music event at the Black E, and Zarah sent a message to that.
“As a party, we’ve got to come together and be united because division and disunity will not serve the interests of the people that we want to represent. So that’s the basis on which we launch the party now.”
