ZARAH SULTANA has called for Your Party unity after the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) said a membership and donations row did not come under its remit.

Today she announced that the data protection authority had “dropped” its investigation into her promoting the party’s membership portal last September.

Co-leader Jeremy Corbyn described the site as a “false membership system” that collected money and data without authorisation at the time, confirming the party had referred the matter to the ICO.

Ms Sultana responded saying that she had been frozen out by a “sexist boys’ club” inside the party, which Mr Corbyn then denied.

The bitter public row saw two MPs leave the nascent left-wing party citing internal tensions shorty before its inaugural conference last November.

Mr Corbyn and other Your Party MPs have criticised Ms Sultana for failing to transfer an estimated £800,000 of Your Party donations held by a company she controls.

The money is held by MoU Operations Ltd, which collected the initial waves of donations while Your Party was being formally registered.

She has transferred £600,000, promising last November that any remaining money will be paid “as soon as possible, as the legal details are ironed out.”

Today, Ms Sultana said: “I have been informed that the ICO has dropped the case around the Your Party membership portal.

“I always anticipated that this inquiry would conclude with no further action and I am pleased that everyone can now draw a line under the matter.”

She added that she looks forward to campaigning for a “central executive committee (CEC) that breaks decisively from Labour right tactics.

“I will continue working closely with Jeremy and comrades across the movement to build on our 60,000 members — the largest socialist party in the UK since the 1940s.”

An ICO spokesperson said: “After reviewing the information provided, we have assessed that formal ICO involvement is not required at this time.”

It is understood that the data protection authority has advised Your Party that “they may wish to refer this to other authorities, as these matters take primacy over the work of the ICO.”

There is no suggestion that Ms Sultana faces any investigation or that the ICO has implied a determination or conclusion in any direction.
