Caption: Ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana at Centre of Party Row Over £800k Donations. Former Labour MP Zarah Sultana is facing pressure from Your Party officials amid a row over £800,000 in donations held by a company she controls. Sultana, who co-founded the left-wing party with Jeremy Corbyn in July, currently has sole control of MOU Operations — the company managing party donations. Her spokesperson said £600,000 will be transferred to Your Party in three instalments starting this week, with the remaining funds released once company costs are settled. Party sources, however, told Sky News they want the “full amount” transferred immediately, accusing Sultana of withholding funds for political leverage. MOU also holds £500,000 from an unauthorised membership launch now under investigation by the Information Commissioner’s Office. The dispute follows the resignation of MOU’s previous three directors, who cited “a lack of appropriate governance” and concerns over financial liabilities. Sultana’s allies insist she is acting in good faith and conducting due diligence before transferring funds, blaming internal resistance and poor transparency within the party. As tensions rise ahead of Your Party’s founding conference later this month, insiders describe a “low trust environment” despite efforts to present unity publicly.
