A born amateur

Corbyn accused of running ‘sexist boys’ club’ by co-leader of new left-wing party

Jeremy Corbyn is seeking legal advice after Zarah Sultana sent an “unauthorised email” from Your Party’s account inviting its supporters to become paid members.

As the left-wing MP accused Your Party of being run as a “sexist boys’ club”, Mr Corbyn called on his backers to ignore Ms Sultana’s email.

In a statement signed off by the party’s five male MPs, ignoring Ms Sultana, he said anyone who signed up should immediately cancel direct debits and that “legal advice is being taken”.


He of course was an amateur — a born amateur. He worked so hard, and did so little, and nothing he ever did would hold together for long.
