Sultana said that the new Corbyn party is going after activists like a "witch hunt"

At the party's first official gathering in late November 2025, Zarah Sultana made things worse by calling what she dubbed a "witch hunt" on people who were left-wing.Some people were informed they couldn't join or were kicked out because they were supposed to be linked to other socialist groups.At that point, the combat started. Sultana thought this went against everything the party had promised, such democracy from the ground up, openness, and politics that included everyone. Your party is in peril because she didn't come on the first day.She said that expulsions, power struggles within the party, and attempts to silence certain points of view were making the culture toxic and undemocratic.Your Party is seeking to make a reputation for itself in UK politics at the same time as this is going on.

People all around the country are questioning if the party can stay together, stay true to its core ideals, and win over left-leaning voters who are unhappy with the government right now. People are beginning to question Jeremy Corbyn's ability to lead the party and its future. They are also wondering if the new movement can overcome its issues and become a big force in British politics.

Claims of a “witch hunt” by Zarah Sultana expose deep divisions within the new Corbyn party. How leaders address internal democracy will determine whether the movement can unite the left and gain political traction.
