Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party is already split over its policy on transgender issues.

Adnan Hussain, who will become one of the group’s six MPs, said last week that trans women are “not biologically women”.

But Ms Sultana declared she would “always” speak in support of the rights of trans people and insisted “bigotry has no place” in the new party.

Currently, Mr Hussain is a member of the Independent Alliance of MPs alongside Mr Corbyn, Ms Sultana and three others who were elected on a pro-Gaza ticket at the last election.

After the new party holds its founding conference in the autumn, the Independent Alliance will be folded into the new organisation.

Last Friday, Mr Hussain was asked about the position that the new party – which has the temporary name of Your Party – would take on LGBT issues and single-sex spaces.

The MP for Blackburn wrote on X: “Women’s rights and safe spaces should not be encroached upon. Safe third spaces should be an alternative option.”

Fewer than three hours after Mr Hussain’s post, Ms Sultana said: “I’ve always stood with the trans community, and I always will.

“The same forces targeting migrants and Muslims are attacking LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people. Our safety is in solidarity. None of us are free until all of us are free.

“That’s the new party we’re building. Bigotry has no place in it.”

Mr Corbyn has previously spoken in support of trans rights, putting him and Ms Sultana at odds with Mr Hussain on the issue.

At a Your Party event in Oldham last week, he was asked about transgender rights by a campaigner and replied: “Trans rights are human rights.”

Mr Hussain doubled down over the weekend despite facing an onslaught of social media abuse from transgender rights activists.

On being accused of “trans hate” by India Willoughby, a transgender journalist, Mr Hussain said: “There was no hatred expressed, India, it’s a conversation that needs to be had.

“Agreeing with women on their need for spaces exclusive to them is not an expression of hatred to any other community. I stated the need for safe spaces for trans people, that’s not hatred.”

When asked by a prospective supporter of the new party whether he believed trans women were women, Mr Hussain replied: “They’re not biologically women, hence trans-women.”

And indicating his support for single-sex toilets, split on the basis of biological sex, he added: “We’re talking about toilets, most sane people want to be segregated in a toilet.”

Your Party’s mailing list already has more than 800,000 registrants, while early polling suggests one in five voters would consider supporting it at a future general election.

But the first few weeks of the new movement have been overshadowed by a number of apparent splits between its leading figures, particularly Ms Sultana and Mr Corbyn.

The MP for Coventry South announced in early July that she and Mr Corbyn would lead the co-founding of a new political party as she confirmed her resignation from Labour.

But the former Labour leader did not comment until the following day and would only say that discussions were “ongoing” about a new party.

Weeks after a joint announcement was finally made, Ms Sultana claimed Mr Corbyn “capitulated” over the definition of anti-Semitism during his time as Labour leader.

She said he was wrong to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism, which includes a warning not to describe Israel’s existence as a “racist endeavour”.

Responding to The Telegraph’s coverage of her remarks, Ms Sultana added: “The smears won’t work this time. I say it loudly and proudly: I’m an anti-Zionist. Print that.”

This prompted a Left-wing activist to film a social media clip in which they asked Mr Corbyn whether he was an anti-Zionist, a question to which he did not reply.

Mr Corbyn later rebuked Ms Sultana for bringing up the row, saying it “wasn’t really necessary” for her to criticise his past approach to the issue.

Mr Hussain and Ms Sultana were contacted for further comment. A spokesman for Mr Corbyn was contacted for comment.

Can we go back to reality already and stop acting like the issue of transgenders playing pretend is a serious issue and a policy that must be considered in the highest offices?

Troon issues have done nothing to help any country, only have made any country that has allowed it worse.

English MPs elected on a pro Gaza ticket. Not their policies for their country, for Gaza.

Oh dear well I think rather a lot of us actually are anti migrant, anti Muslim and not terribly fond of trannies so we’re in a bit of a bind there aren’t we? Perhaps you should all go to Gaza and stay there. Don’t worry, there aren’t any tall buildings left for them to chuck you off

Freedom is when allow every form degeneracy, get rid of borders to allow any freak from the 3rd world in, and suppressing the speech of those who dislike those things.

They know their approval rating is through the fucking floor and they are just aiming at the easiest targets.

It's not going to work anymore though, especially when they are months late to the party.

This is where they tie domestic law to a foreign ((NGO)) who are elected by no one and change their definitions to suit the Current Thing. Any criticism is simply written into their definition, and now you're a Huwite Extremist Hate Terrist.
 
This is why a left/progressive party will never get off the ground in todays day and age. They always break up into petty infighting about who can be the Most Virtuous, the Most Moral and Supportive of the Oppressed(TM). Whether they tear themselves up willingly or its due to (((interference))) it's going to be pathetic if this ruins the new party.
The lack of an actual party name still baffles me, it makes it seem like a teenagers slap-dash spur of the moment announcing 'we're creating a new party' rather than an actual well thought out plan to create a new party. Has he seen how the British public name things in contests? this will be Party McPartyface if he picks the top suggested name.

Which is non-ironically the same one in five voters (20%) that currently would vote for the labour government.

The party currently consisting of five brown muslims and Corbyn says everything about who they are and what they represent.

Troons, Gaza, more money for people who don't work, Islam and even more Jeet migration. quite a platform.

Its amusing how even the far left socialists like Corbyn in Britain no longer believe in socialism even enough to talk about it. Its all Jeets, Islam, paying people not to work and Troons.

It's a "Pro Gaza" Party led by mostly muslims with a white socialist poster boy at the top. So to answer your question yes.

They've always been like that and always will. The problem is, is that the left all fundamentally believe the same things in regard to anti-colonialism and mass-migration. While the right is currently split over those issues with the conservatives(not even right-wing, just labor, but they pretend to be right during election season), reform being moderates (you will be replaced, but it'll be your kids that'll have to deal with it), tommy robinson and his cohort pretending to be far-right (you will be replaced, but it won't be muslims and they'll pretend to be british) and then the real far-right, IDK maybe homeland (Degenerate nazi's) or Britain first(Borderline activist group now rather than party) maybe fall under that. Left-wing schisms at the moment are around palestine/isreal and trans rights. Things that are mostly pointless, while the real issues migration they all believe the same thing (except lib-dems they actually want to get raped by refugees, the rest pretend they don't).
