Jeremy Corbyn admits ‘we haven’t covered ourselves in glory’ following Your Party row

Corbyn hits back at Sultana criticism as 'not necessary'

Jeremy Corbyn has re-launched Your Party's paid membership service, apologising for the "confusion" and "embarrassing setbacks" during its establishment.
The re-launch follows a public spat between Mr Corbyn and co-leader Zarah Sultana, which began over an "unauthorised email" inviting supporters to become paid members.
The dispute escalated with both Mr Corbyn and Ms Sultana threatening legal action against each other amid accusations of a "sexist boys' club" attitude within the party.
In a video, Mr Corbyn urged supporters to "move on" from the recent infighting and sign up as founding members ahead of the party's first conference in November.
Ms Sultana has since dropped her legal proceedings, stating that "the stakes are too high for failure to be an option" and promising to reconcile with Mr Corbyn.
