Corbyn & Sultana’s Your Party accused of sharing ‘Hamas symbol’

— Your Party (@thisisyourparty) October 9, 2025

The Trust, which has been praised by leading politicians, including Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch for the heroism of its members during the Heaton Park terror attack, which saw one of its volunteers taken to hospital in a critical condition, strongly condemned the post by Your Party.

"The upside-down red triangle is used by Hamas’ military wing to indicate targets for attack in Hamas’s propaganda videos”, a CST spokesperson told the JC.

“The fact that Your Party uses the same symbol to promote this demonstration tells you everything you need to know about the extremism at the heart of this movement”, they added.

However, a spokesperson for Your Party dismissed CST’s claims as “an absurd accusation”.

“It is a standard and widely-used emoji found on every system, used in this case to point down to details of this weekend’s demonstration for an end to genocide and justice for the Palestinian people” they told the JC.

At the time of writing, neither Corbyn nor Sultana has shared the statement to their individual X accounts.

In a statement that did not explicitly mention the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, Corbyn appeared to cautiously welcome the agreement brokered by US president Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza.

“Today's announcement of a ceasefire will bring immense relief to survivors of the genocide and to those who have been held captive in Israel and Gaza. This must mark the beginning of the full withdrawal of Israeli occupying forces, and an end to Israeli's illegal siege starving Palestinians to death.

“We rejoice in the sight of children celebrating in Gaza, but we mourn for the children whose laughter we will never hear. This genocide could not have been possible without the political and military support of governments across the world, including our own”, he said in a lengthy post on social media.

In July, the launch of the new political party by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana was marred by apparent division between the two.

In August, pair clashed over the issue of antisemitism, where Sultana criticised his adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) as Labour Party leader. Corbyn hit back, saying: "I think it wasn't really necessary for her to bring all that up in the interview, but that's what she decided to do.”

Last month, Sultana likened the party to a “sexist boys club” and accused Corbyn and Independent Alliance MPs of cutting her out of decision-making.

However, despite the apparent divisions between the left-wing MPs, they are set to jointly address supporters in Liverpool on Thursday evening.
