I think that Zarah has put herself in a very, very, very tricky position here.
I have lost significant amounts of sleep over much smaller liabilities than this.

As sole director of MoU now, Zarah Sultana now faces the same issues the MoU directors had - that the company has a ton of cash, but lots of legal hurdles.
The cash was from members who *thought* they were joining Your Party, but as it was unofficial...kind of weren't. Big liabilities for Sultana.

Three people who’d be expected to be Your Party bigwigs have largely walked away from Corbyn’s project: former NE mayor Jamie Driscoll, former Labour MP Beth Winter, and former ANC MP Andrew Feinstein.
I have some new intel on the fall-out, if you’re interested in that sort of thing… 🧵

My unpopular opinion: those of us advocating for non-car travel need to stop apologetically saying "I know not everybody can cycle!" Obviously not everyone can cycle, but that's also true of driving. I fear we're just giving our opponents' attack lines legitimacy by shouting them out for free

Ever wondered what it costs to provide free parking?
