Everything you need to know about Your Party’s founding conference

Who will be speaking at Your Party conference?

The four Your Party MPs – Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan are all expected to address the conference. Alongside this, representatives from left-wing parties across Europe are also expected to speak to attendees.
What will Your Party’s new name be?

One of the things being decided at the conference this weekend will be the new name for the party. Leading figures have consistently described ‘Your Party’ as merely a holding name, with the permanent name to be decided at the founding conference.

The new name of the party, as agreed by members, is expected to be announced on Sunday.

The road to conference

Our Founding Conference will be held in Liverpool on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November.

By mid-October our founding process will have begun in earnest – we have opened our membership portal, are initiating wide democratic debate and will soon publish draft versions of our four core founding documents: our Political Statement, Constitution, Rules, and Organisational Strategy.

We will host mass regional assemblies where thousands of members will come together to listen to each other, debate and revise the founding documents face to face. All members will be able to comment, suggest changes, and track how each document develops.

In November, thousands of in-person founding conference delegates will be chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region, and background. These delegates will have a big responsibility – to debate the founding documents, propose amendments and vote on them at the conference in Liverpool. The final decision will be up to all members through an online, secure, one-member-one-vote system.

This is your time

Your Party was launched in July 2025 by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana to found a political party that was an alternative to the status quo and to decades of neoliberalism, austerity and the demonisation of refugees and marginalised communities.

The founding process is being stewarded by the six members of the Independent Alliance. This isn’t just another political party. It’s about doing politics differently – where decisions are shaped by all of us, power is returned to communities, and principles come first.

»In der Politik sollte es darum gehen, Menschen zu ermächtigen«

Wenn rund 650.000 Menschen sich für ein neues Projekt interessieren und sich anmelden, machen sie das nicht ohne Grund: Sie melden sich an, weil sie es satthaben. Sie haben es satt, immer ärmer zu werden, während die Reichen immer reicher werden. Sie haben es satt, dass die Gebühren für die Wasserversorgung steigen, obwohl die Rohre platzen und Abwasser in unsere Meere fließt. Sie haben es satt, eigentlich selbstverständliche Forderungen stellen zu müssen – wie zum Beispiel, dass Menschen mit Behinderung ausreichend Unterstützung erhalten, um ein Leben in Würde führen zu können – und trotzdem ignoriert zu werden. Sie haben es satt, von Entscheidungen, die ihr alltägliches Leben betreffen, ausgeschlossen zu werden.

Described as “the most lethal fighter jet in the world”, every Israeli F-35 is made in part here in the UK. I, alongside 36 MPs, have written to the government raising concerns about complicity in violations of international law by not suspending export licences for F-35 parts:

NEW: The government hid from Parliament the Foreign Office‘s „serious concerns“ about Israel‘s compliance with International Humanitarian Law in Gaza, according to newly-released court papers. This should be national news – and it should end arms sales to Israel.

The papers show that at the start of the war the Foreign Office set up an internal International Humanitarian Law assessment process.

On 10 November it judged: “the volume of strikes, total death toll, as well as proportion of those who are children raise serious concerns”. 2/12

It also said: „the government’s current inability to come to a clear assessment on Israel’s record of compliance with International Humanitarian Law poses significant policy risks”.

But look at what Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell said to me just 4 days later… 3/12

In Parliament on 14 November, I asked Mitchell if British-made weapons had been used in violation of international law in Gaza.

He replied reassuring me of Israel‘s commitment to international law, even though just 4 days earlier his department registered serious concerns. 4/12

Mitchell said: „The member will know that the President of Israel has made it clear that his country will abide by International Humanitarian Law“.

These court papers reveal that his own department, the UK Foreign Office, doubted the Israeli President‘s words.
